bitu xiga Name referring to the tree species <Crescentia alata>. This is a scarce tree that reaches a height of 6 meters. It produces a maroon-colored flower all year round. The spherical fruit is initially green in color but turns brown when it matures in the month of April. The fruit is dried and used to make cups or bowls known as <jícaras>. The more oval-shaped fruits can be used to make a spinning top known as <xiga bizunu>, which makes a whirring noise when spun. The fruit is considered to have a variety of medicinal properties. To treat asthma, the pulp is prepared with powdered brown sugar, eucalyptus and cinnamon, then boiled and fermented to make a syrup. It can also be used for enemas and to treat women who have difficulty becoming pregnant. In both cases it is boiled, filtered, left to cool and either drunk or used as an enema.
