I came across some medical leaves that Thai breeders used to treat their bettas. Any of you can comment on the usage and properties?
<LI>Dry banana leaf. Sap from the stem has the ability to stop the growth of the bacteria Escherichia coli, which causes diarrhea and dysentery. It is also contains tannin which also can cure dysentery.
<LI>Dry Indian almond leaf.(Terminalia catappa L.)Indian almond tree is used to make an ancient Thai remedy used to cure diarrhea. The leaf can also cure rash and skin irritations and promotes sweating, which releases toxins from the body. The fruit is also used as a laxative.
<LI>Gruay. (Casearia grewiifolia)
<LI>Coconut skin, Dry coconut leaf (Cocos nucifera Linn.)
<LI>Rat - Ja - Plex, Coon (Cassia fistula L.). Use its dry pod or dry bark
<LI>Dry teak leaf. Use its dry leaf as Indian almond leaf.
<LI>Dry Sa - Mor - Thai leaf. (Terminalia chebula Retz)
<LI>Dry See - Sead. Cutch tree, Catechu tree (Acacia catechu (Linn.f.) Wild. See-Sead contains tannin which can cure diarrhea and dysentery.
<LI>Dry indian almond leaf. (Terminalia Catappa) or other types of herb. Dry indian almond leaf plays a very important role in the keeping of fighting fish. It is used to prevent bacteria, it refreshes the fish and is used as a remedy for fresh or infected wounds. It can cure pop-eye and is very effective, but use more indian almond leaf so that the water becomes a dark brown color. Only 3-5 days and the fish's eyes should return to a normal state. In the breeding field it is used to condition water to a pH 6 value or more acidic. This has been proven to maximize the number of males in breeding spawns.
<LI>Dry banana leaf. Dry banana leaf usage is similar to dry indian almond leaf but not as effective, though it is very good when curing pop-eye. The main purpose of using dry banana leaf is to soften the water so as to be more comfortable to the betta
