Medicinal and Aromatic Coastal Shrub

Common Names: La Cach, Coastal Premna, Headache Tree, Agara, Arani, Vasa
Family: Lamiaceae
Origin: Tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands

Premna serratifolia, commonly known as La Cach or Coastal Premna, is a hardy shrub or small tree known for its medicinal properties and aromatic leaves. This plant is often found growing in coastal areas and tropical forests, thriving in warm, humid environments. La Cach is widely used in traditional medicine, particularly in Southeast Asia and India, where its leaves, roots, and bark are used to treat a variety of ailments. The leaves are fragrant and are sometimes used as a spice in cooking. This versatile plant is drought-tolerant, resilient to coastal winds, and adds both medicinal and ornamental value to gardens.

Distinctive Features, Uses, and Nutritional Value

Foliage: La Cach has oval to lance-shaped, serrated leaves that are aromatic when crushed. The leaves are used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties. La Cach plants flower and produce seeds year-round, but it is really cultivated for its foliage. The young leaves and tender shoots are typically cooked and eaten as greens or used to wrap meat or veggies with and grilled. The leaves, flowers, and roots of La Cach are known for their purported medicinal qualities in the Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani systems of medicine.

Flowers: The plant produces small, greenish-white flowers in clusters, which attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.  La Cach always gets a lot of attention during our Food Forest Tours due to it's unique appearance, beautiful deep purple berries (only harvested for seed) and eye-catching flowers.  It has a shrubby habit and makes a great ornamental hedge that always attracts a large number of butterflies and other pollinators.

Growth Habit: Premna serratifolia grows as a shrub or small tree, reaching up to 10-20 feet tall. It has a bushy, spreading habit and can be pruned to maintain a smaller size.

Medicinal and Culinary Uses

La Cach is highly valued in traditional medicine. The leaves, roots, and bark are used to treat fever, headaches, respiratory issues, and digestive disorders. It is also known to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it a common remedy for wounds and infections. In addition to its medicinal uses, the aromatic leaves can be used as a spice in cooking, particularly in Southeast Asian cuisine. The leaves are sometimes added to soups or stews for their fragrance and flavor.

Soft, Durable, and So Much Better Than Cotton Balls
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These cotton pads have been such a simple but huge upgrade to my routine. For years I used regular cotton balls or even toilet paper for skincare and makeup removal, so I wasn’t expecting these to make that much of a difference. After seeing them on Amazon, I decided to give them a try, and now I don’t want to go back. They are incredibly soft and gentle on my skin, especially around my eyes. I mainly use them for applying toner and removing eye makeup, and they work perfectly for both. They don’t fall apart, leave lint behind, or soak up tons of product like regular cotton balls do. The size is perfect too — large enough to be useful without wasting product. One thing that really surprised me is how well they work for removing nail polish. I can usually remove polish from all ten nails with just one cotton pad, which definitely helps them last longer. Overall, these feel much more high quality than standard cotton balls, and they’ve made my skincare routine easier and less messy.

Great for Skin

These Amazon Basics Hypoallergenic 100% Cotton Rounds for Makeup Remover and Skincare are honestly a great find. They’re super soft—so they feel nice on your skin—and they’re tough enough not to fall apart when you use them. Plus, you get a lot for a really good price. If you need something simple that just works for cleaning your face or taking off makeup, these cotton rounds do the job without any fuss.

Really like these cotton rounds
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I do like these cotton rounds. They hold up and work well to remove make up and clean my skin in between actually washing my face. They are soft but strong and a good size for makeup removal. These are much nicer than the ones I bought previously that shed on my skin. They are somewhat thick and seem to have a decent cotton content.
