We also had another trip last year from November fourth through sixth. The last trip we did we walked through the jungle finding projects to do. During this first trip I met Ety Ningsih. After I met Ety I became more interested in plants than before. The setting in which I collected my plants was in the secondary growth of the rain forest.
Medicinal plants have their own unique features.
Some medicinal plants can cure diseases such as malaria and colds and some can cure wounds or skin diseases. We need to first collect the plants from the forest. In collecting plants you have to make sure you've got the stem and the leaves. It's good to have three or four leaves with the stem. Sometimes you need the fruit and the flower of the plant you've collected.
