All of the leaves listed below are used for various ailments. If you know of any that I have left off the list please jot this below. Some have been commercialized, but some yet to be recognized. 

I am not sure all the leaves can be eaten, however, all can be used to make a tea beverage, served hot or cold.

I'm not sure I need to put a disclaimer on this site since it is only a blog, but I will anyway.

As far as I know, none of these statements have been evaluated by medical personnel or by the FDA. These statements are strictly based on personal experience and folklore.

 

Breadfruit leaf

I used to see my grandmother drink this tea for her blood pressure,  I would even see her eat it at times. I don't know how effective the tea was, nevertheless it was a practice.
