Momordica
balsamina L. (Kekana)
- The legend
When the Portuguese
settled in Africa, a troop garrison was placed on the borders of the Limpopo
River. The troops soon succumbed to an epidemic of marsh fever (paludism),
a mosquito transmitted disease. Conventional treatment at the time was
painful and slow. A local Shangaan pointed out a healer (traditional doctor)
who had an effective cure for marsh fever. Soon word spread that this
disease could be cured in three days with this bitter herb - Kakana.
Within a short period of time, the Portuguese troops were queuing at the
door of the traditional doctor and refused treatment by the conventional
doctor residing in the camp. The humiliation was total. This is one of
many painful lessons conventional medicine has learned in Africa.
The traditional doctor capitalized on the economic potential of his medication.
He set up a small restaurant next to the camp and refused to sell his
medication to the troops unless they ate at his restaurant. Kakana
was not only prescribed medicinally but was served as a sauce with everything
from prawns to chickens.
Momordica balsamina L - Kakana
has been distributed in leaf form by Portuguese herbal establishments
since the 1950's.
