Procedure of Use	According to farmer Lubhabhai Dulabhai Hathia from Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, the leg of an animal may get inflamed due to injury or any other reason. The animal feels pain and cannot walk due to the inflammation. For curing the leg inflammation, Lubhabhai collects tender stems of cluster fig (Ficus glomerata) and extracts milky sap from it. He then applies this milky sap on the inflamed area of leg or other part till it cures. This results in reduction of swelling and the animal gets relief. There is no side effect of this traditional medicine.
