| Details |
Tribal communities of Mayurbhanj district use the leaves of ‘Narangi’ or orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) to heal wounds in cattle. Durga Singh grinds a handful of ‘Narangi’ leaves to make a paste and applies on wounds, which reportedly heal up very quickly. The juice also wards off maggots from the site of the wound.
