33Who in Arunachal doesn’t know Masundari, the fishy-smelling small plant?This wonderful small herb, is eaten as a favourite chutney by almost allcommunities here. Masundari is found all over the State in the hills as well asthe plains and grows luxuriously in shady areas with slushy/wet soil. It iscalled ‘Pukhoi’ in khampti, ‘Amuli’ in Idu Mishmi and ‘Loram’ in Adi Padamlanguages. (botanical name: Houttouyunea cordata)Though the Arunachali communities and our local traditional herbalpractitioners have long ago recognized the capacity of Masundari to act as astomach tonic, few of them have been using it widely as a home-remedy.Therefore the “Herbs for Better Health”, (HBH) a charitable societypromoting Herbal Kitchen Gardens among the common people of Lohit andDibang Valley region, have developed the following simple home-remedy fordiarrhea and loose-motions, using a Masundari Soup. Given below is itsrecipe:MASUNDARI SOUP1. Pluck 10 to 15 clean healthy mature green leaves of Masundari. Washthem nicely in clean water, to remove and mud particles etc.2. Take one glass (300 ml) of clean filtered water and keep if for boiling astove. Put the leaves in the water. Crush a few pieces of ginger and addto the water. Let it boil well and get reduced to get half a glass. The soupis now ready.3. Remove the Masundari soup from fire and allow it to cool slightly. Add afew pinches of salt. Give it hot to the patient suffering from diarrhea orstomach disorders.4. Let the patient drink the soup 3-4 times a day. In most cases, therecovery is instant. The diarrhea is found to stop within 24 hours.The HBH society has been using this soup widely and very effectively inDibang Valley over the last 3 years. This is testified by Dr. Oken Mega, MO,Tezu District Hospital, and the District Convener of HBH Lohit, who had usedit successfully for several patients during the 2004 floods and dysentery thatswept across Sunpura circle.The greatest advantage of Masundari is that it has been a part of Arunachalifolk-knowledge and can be a covenient and instant home-remedy for diarrheain every home. It has no side-effects whatsoever. It should find a place inevery home garden.(acknowledgement- HBH Tezu unit.)
