Perak Herb Garden

Another interesting place we visited which was unscheduled was the Perak Herb Garden. At first we were doubtful whether it was worth visiting, but we were glad we did. The garden was full of interesting plants.
Of particular interest was this plant below - said to be able to boost the male libido !! Well, we have this plant back home.
Below, on the left is the so-called "Lidah Jin" or "Devil's Tongue" but it sometimes being called - the "Mother-in-law's Tongue" . The plant shown below at right is called Sabah Snake Grass and is known to have some effect in treating cancer.
Another garden plant is the 'Garden Croton" or "Daun Puding" shown on the lower left below - the leaves are said to be good for skin problem. It helps to ease urination and constipation. We used to have plenty of these in our garden. The long yellow leaves on the right can be used to treat gall stones.
