Medicinal remedies using the leaves of the Vối plant.

Overview of the Voi leaf

According to General Practitioner Bui Dac Sang, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi Traditional Medicine Association, the leaves of the Vối plant contain saponins, very little tannin, traces of alkaloids (belonging to the indolic group) similar to caffeine, and 4% volatile essential oil with a pleasant aroma. Other parts of the plant also contain sterols, fats, catechic and gallic tannins. The leaves and buds contain triterpenic acids.

Numerous studies have shown that both the leaves and buds of the Vối plant possess antibiotic properties against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria at all stages of development. The antibiotic (antibacterial) substances are typically most concentrated in the leaves during the winter months.

These antibiotics are water-soluble and soluble in organic solvents, stable at high temperatures, and in environments with a pH of 2-9. They are most effective against Streptococcus (hemolytic and staman), followed by diphtheria bacteria, Staphylococcus, and Prieumococcus. They are completely non-toxic to the human body.

Furthermore, the leaves and buds of the Vối plant have long been used by the Vietnamese people to make a fragrant tea that aids digestion, stimulates appetite, reduces swelling, stops bleeding, and promotes tissue regeneration. A strong decoction of fresh or dried Vối leaves is considered to have antiseptic properties for washing boils, ulcers, scabies, and itching. Generally, dried buds and leaves are used for internal consumption, while fresh leaves are used for external application.

Voi leaves are very good for health.
