Shame-me-macka, also known as Mimosa pudica or the Touch-Me-Not plant, offers traditional benefits for issues like dysentery, diarrhea, asthma, and piles, with its leaves used in pastes for wounds and its roots for snakebites; scientifically, it shows potential as an antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory agent, but always consult a doctor before using it medicinally. 

Culinary suggestions...

Boil the root of the plant with water and allow to steep for 5-10 minutes, and drink for conditions like diarrhoea or urinary infections.
