He then told me if I trusted him, he could get rid of the cough. Homer was his name; he took us to his house where we met his family. He then took us in is yard where he had grown lot of plants. We boiled three leaves and made a tea that I drank, the cough stop and I did cough for about ten years. I can't remember the name of the plant and was hoping maybe someone might know some of the herbal rememdies used in Jamaica.
