Updated: July 7, 2026

For a cut, called "na-fa'-kag," the fruit of a grass-like herb named la-lay'-ya is pounded to a paste, and then bound on the wound. Burns, ma-la-fub-chong', are covered over with a piece of bark from a tree called ta-kum'-fao. Kay-yub', a vegetable root, is rubbed over the forehead in cases of headache.
