A suggested preventative for lota is to pick a handful of Croton micans leaves when you’re walking and sweating, wipe your skin, then throw the leaves other your shoulder without turning back (looking back) until you get home.  The berries of ti bonm are used as acauterizer and an antibiotic and the wood is used for making chairs.  For flatulence ti bonm is boiled with go diten (Plectranthus amboinicus) and lanmant fanm (Mentha nemerosa).  Or when you’re ``feeling weak’’ three leaves are boiled and drunk with a little salt. Croton bixoides, C. flavens, and other Crotons species grow profusely in St. Lucia covering the dry slopes.  They are utilized for making charcoal.
