I'm a new member to Indusladies... and sadly i'm not an indian by origin
though i'd love to be

please help me

i came across this remedy on many indian remedy websites

The leaves of Indian plum (i.e jambula)are valuable in getting rid of obesity. Soak a handful of indian plum leaves in water and keep them overnight. Drink this water next day as first thing in the morning. This is another simple and one of the effective home remedies for obesity.

what i want to know is does anyone know if
this plant refers to this plant?? (I've pasted website links to the specific plant i believe is to be indian plum)

Hi PG,
Yes, the plant you wanted is that in the link.
It is a common fruit in India.
I have heard that, the seeds of it are good for controlling diabetic condition, not sure about it's effectiveness in reducing obesity.
