Annona Keeps Flies Away |

|
| Details |
Sri Antaryami Pradhan recalled the traditional advice of rubbing leaves of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) on an open injury in children. The wounds healed quickly with no infection. Generally flies sit on the wounds of domestic animals resulting in maggot infestation. A paste of custard apple leaves prevent flies and maggots infestation.
In scientific studies of wound-healing, significant inhibition of growth of staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pyogenes, corynebacterium spp., escherichia coli, and pseudomonas aeruginosa was observed by annona squamosa (Thaker AM, Anjaria JV. 1986. Antimicrobial and infected wound healing response of some traditional drugs. Ind J Pharmacol. 18 (3): 171-174.). |
