One day, there was a boy who fell on the street. His knee was bloody. He cried and no body helped her. All his friends did not know what to do. Then, my wife came out because she heard a boy crying. She guided the boy to wake up and saw the would. My wife said “ it is ok, don’t cry!”.

Then my wife went to the betadine tree. People call the tree is Betadine. Betadine is an antiseptic and antibiotik for external injuries. The sap of the tree is very effective to cure all external wounds.

My wife cut the stem of a leaf. The leaf has a stem. When the stem is cut, there will drops of sap. The sap has antibiotic agents. After that, my wife smeared some drops of sap on the boy’s knee. The boy cried loudly. He said “ hurt”. After a few minutes, the blood stopped and the boy did not cry again. He could move his legs normally. He played again with his friends but he was more careful now.

Next day, the boy played again with his friends near my house. My wife saw that the wound had dried. The wound did not make the boys knee get infected. It recovered very fast. That is the story how the betadine tree has helps a lot of people to get medicated with its sap.
