An noh cowitch that!
do you know you use this same plant byputting it in some hot water and let cool to stop itch
That is what we call cowitch (corich) in Jamaica and also another one we call barber cowitch which is something like a bean pod but it is covered in brown itchy velvety hair that can be easily shunned off by wind (travels in the wind) or direct contact.
I know it as "Stinging nettle"
Jamaicans call both of them cowitch.....the stinging nettle and the velvet beans.....in central parishes the stin ginger nettle is popular and in eastern parishes the velvet bean (pods)
Stinging nettle and every GT know to stay clear of it ✌
Stinging nettle
i've been doing quite a bit of research that indicates that cowitch in Jamaica and stinging nettle are not the same. stinging nettle leaves are for example placed on a female's breast to stimulate milk production, it wouldn't be a good idea to try this with what we Jamaicans call cowitch. also notice the way the stinging nettle plant grows upright unlike cowitch which is a more vine like structure
I would really appreciate your assistance concerning Jamaican cowitch and stinging nettle, thanks
stinging nettle
This scratch nf I remember as a kid when this touch me, yuh entire day spoil enuh and yuh skin just a scratch but you can rub leaf of life on it and soothe it
Hello hello
Cowing is more potent than stinging nettle and derives from a different specials of plant.
I dont think this is cowich because this has stem n cowich is a vine. Would really like to find this plant tho
