I got no idea what species is this plant, but it's a common herb among kampung folks. The fruits of this herb look like lantern. I remember playing with this plant while i was very young.
Beside this plant, some even suggest to use bitter gourd plant. Just dry them under the sun so that we can keep them. When we want to use it, just boil them in water for about half an hour. Wait until the extract to cool down, then use it to bath the baby.
Indeed it was quite effective. The rashes were gone in a day or two. As the rashes re-occur, just bath the baby with the extract again. Interesting isn't it?
Thanks to my mother-in-law, we got all sort of traditional knowledge on parenting.

Yah, the Dr. gave us some cream too. It's effective, but we're trying not to apply medication too much. That's why we try alternative remedies. Like you said, it's the best.
