Daun Kadok is very popular and more widely used. Piper sarmentosum is often made into drink to relieve the symptoms of malaria. The roots could be chewed to stop toothaches. A portion made from its roots is said to be diuretic. The drink has also been known to be effective in treating coughs, flu, rheumatism, pleurosy and lumbago.
Today daun kadok is taken as part of ulam, especially Thai style ulam. Or you can coat the leaves with tempura flour and deep fry. Very nice.
It is easily grown around the house.
