| Description |
English: A sausage tree in Aburi Botanical Garden, north of Accra, Ghana. From the information board: Kigelia africana (Sausage tree) The tree is used medicinally in Ghana for piles. The root decoction is drunk for constipation and for tapeworm. The roots and fruit are boiled with a knob of plantain flowers as a woman's remedy in Ghana. The bark and leaves alone or with other tree barks and seed of Xylopia aethiopica seed are used for dysentery, stomach and kidney trouble. The fruits cut into pieces and boiled with root of Anthocleista sp. strained and drunk are used for piles and lumbago. The sensufa[?] people of West Africa, though having no therapeutic use for the fruit, sometimes hang it on their huts as a superstitious use for fertility. The fruit are sold in local medicine market in West Africa as a purgative and for dysentery. Kigelia africana (Sausage tree) |
