A message posted on Facebook in Nigeria claims drinking juice made from editan leaves and a local white clay will help women conceive.
“To conceive easily with leaf,” it begins. “Get a popular Akwaibom leaf called Editan, squeeze out the juice in a glass ,then get white clay (nzu in Igbo) grate it into powdered and mix it together with the editan juice…stir and drink first thing early in the morning before eating.try this for two weeks and thank me later. Wonderful testimonies already coming up from our free group of women trying to conceive.”
Editan (
Lasianthera africana) is a shrub found in West Africa.
