        The anahuna has healing substances for stomachache. When our stomach hurts, we pick a bunch of anahuna leaves and rub them in our hands so that they become juicy, then make them wet with a bit of saltwater. Then we squeeze it (the pulp) into a cup and give it the sick person to drink. This medication for stomachache is a pain killer. The anahuna is a very bitter plant. Its juice is green. We must not abandon the plants that contain healing substances. When the medicine is finished, we get our healing substances from the plants.
