Thanks for your comments. For my friends in Madagascar Delonix is valuable medicinal plant.
Living with this exotic species from long time, innovative young Traditional Healers of India have started experimenting with it. When I documented new findings of these Healers which were not known even in Madagascar, the researchers showed interest to visit India and interact the Healers. When I was preparing a report on Antioxidant Herbs I found the name of Gulmohar in Top 100 Antioxidants herbs of the world. There are plus and minus sides of all species. If you are sure that you are allergic to Delonix then without any delay consult the Homoeopath. He will prepare medicine from Delonix itself which will cure you forever. Similia Simlibus Curantur is root of Homoeopathy. "Parthenium Hysterophorus" is valuable medicine in Homoeopathy and used to manage Parthenium allergy successfully. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Sun, May 1, 2011 at 5:42 AM, Ushadi micromini <[email protected]>wrote: > Dear Dr Oudhia: I am very disturbed to hear this, but am glad you > wrote it.... and I read it...
