#UrinaryDisorders

For generations, Thai communities have found medicine not only in pharmacies, but also in the forests and waterways of the kingdom. Among the green treasures is Krumanam (กุ่มน้ำ), a native tree whose bark and young leaves have flavored diets and healing traditions, while now attracting modern scientific interest. Known by its scientific name, Crateva religiosa G.Forst., or simply the sacred garlic pear and spider tree, Krumanam is an herbal protagonist whose story weaves folklore, culinary use, and emerging pharmacological promise—with its roots reaching from ancient rites to contemporary research benches.
