In this post I want to share information about a plant called vinca or commonly called tapak dara. Vinca is a type of shrub that has the Latin name gariantius saroseos. This vinca plant is a plant that originates from North America, and then spread throughout the tropical regions of the world.

This vinca plant in Aceh is often used as an ornamental plant for houseplants. However, besides being used as an ornamental plant, tapak dara is also often used as a herbal medicine that can cure various diseases. The vinca plant has various compounds in it that function to support the health of the body.

This vinca plant can also treat high fever due to convulsions. Not only toddlers who experience convulsions due to extreme fever, adults can also experience it when their health has collapsed.

You can try consuming vinca leaves to treat high fever which has fatal consequences for health. High fever if not treated quickly and properly, will cause more serious health problems. This plant can also be used to treat boils, ulcers and goiter. As an external medicine, this plant is also very effective in treating boils, ulcers, and goiter in several parts of the body.

The method is to simply crush the vinca plant on the part affected by the disease.

If you have low blood pressure, then do not consume the vinca plant. Likewise, if you are about to undergo surgery. Consumption of drugs containing parts or extracts of the vinca plant should be stopped in this condition.

Well, that's information about the efficacy and side effects of the vinca plant. Hopefully this information is useful.

Greetings always compact.
