Malaysian Woman's Traditional Remedy Claim Sparks Online Debate
Malaysian Woman Shares Traditional Uses of 'Child Support Plant' A recent video circulating online shows a Malaysian woman discussing the purported medicinal uses of a plant she identifies as "pokok dukung anak." The video, filmed outdoors, features the woman and a man identifying the plant and discussing its alleged properties. She claims the plant can help regulate irregular menstrual cycles and treat jaundice in infants. "It's been used for generations," she says in the video, "but you need to know how to use it properly." While the video has gained some traction online, it's crucial to note that there is currently no scientific evidence to support these claims. Experts caution against self-treating based on unverified information from social media. The video highlights the ongoing interest in traditional remedies in Malaysia, but underscores the need for careful consideration and verification before using such plants for medicinal purposes. Further research is needed to validate the purported benefits of "pokok dukung anak."
