It is normally grown from seeds, and is ubiquitous in its native areas: it grows in forest areas, and along roads and in villages. Because of its well-known medicinal properties, in Indonesia it is also commonly cultivated. It grows easily in all types of soil.

MAHKOTA DEWA (God’s Crown /Phaleria Macrocarpa)

MAHKOTA DEWA
God’s Crown
(Phaleria Macrocarpa)
A powerful anti-oxidant that fights life-style diseases: diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, and reduces cholesterol and fats.


For centuries, the people of Indonesia have used the fruit and leaves of the tree Mahkota Dewa (literally God’s Crown) to counter diabetes, liver diseases, vascular problems, cancer, and high blood pressure.

Recent research is now confirming the experience of the years. In laboratory testing and clinical trials, there is now scientific proof that Gods Crown contains an effective battery of phyto-chemicals (plant chemicals) that combat not only the traditional cancers and fevers such as malaria, but also the so called life-style diseases.


Medical science has given extended life-spans through the introduction of hygiene and better nutrition. Average length of life has increased twofold as man’s understanding of microbes and food hygiene has improved. Advances in drugs and surgical techniques have further enhanced average longevity.
