Umthombe

Umthombe umuthi osemndenini we-Moraceae . Uvame kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika. Enkabeni nasentshonalanga ye-Uganda, lapho unesizima esibalulekile ngokwesiko, yaziwa ngokuthi i-omutuba kubantu baseBaganda kanye ne-omutoma kubantu baseBanyakitara. Uvame ukuphambaniswa nomzala wayo i- Ficus thonningii eyaziwa nangokuthi i-mugumo kuma- Agikuyu . Lezi zihlahla zisakazwa kusukela enyakatho-mpumalanga yeNingizimu Afrika kuya e-Uganda naseKenya .

Lona umqhinqo onesibunge njengoba ulinywa njenge-bonsai ngenxa yokukhula kwalo okusheshayo kanye nesimo sawo esiqinile.

Igxolo lomuthi liyavunwa, ngaphandle kokulimaza umuthi, ukuze kwenziwe indwangu yamagxolo . Abadwebi bafaka le ndwangu ezindleleni eziningi zesimanje zokuluka, okuhlanganisa ingqephu, izesekeli, izinto zasekhaya, ukuklama kwangaphakathi, kanye nobuciko. Igxolo lomthombe libonise umsebenzi onamandla wokulwa namagciwane ngokumelene ne -Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) engamelana ne-methicillin in vitro . ^[1]

Izihlahla zeMthombe zingavunwa minyaka yonke kuze kube yilapho zineminyaka engama-40, ziveze indwangu efinyelela kumagremu-200 ngayinye.
