They don’t swallow it or swallow it.
So herbal medicine uses medicinal ingredients from different parts of the plants. The only thing we use is the leaves. Who has hypertension here? The one with high blood pressure? Or you?

The possible effect of the vaccine is low because it is not synthetic. You are not using harmful chemicals that can cause further diseases to humans. This is an alternative to modern medicine. We are not saying that we are not competing with synthetic medicines. This is an alternative.
In conclusion, the importance of traditional and natural moons is a result of the combination of tradition, culture, and ecology in the care of the well-being of individuals and communities. It helps strengthen alternatives and keeps a prosperous community with sufficient knowledge in their own culture. So this is rich in culture, it comes from our ancestors. Herbal medicine is an important part of the culture of the Philippines in the centuries that have been read from generation to generation of traditional medicines known as albulario or hilot.
The knowledge of herbal medicine is deeply embedded in the minds of Filipinos who are interested in different cultures from around the country. Aside from this, herbal medicine is rich in biodiversity. So in the Philippines, this is a home to a wide range of plants that have a tendency to take medicine.

So, from tropical to the regions along the mountain, and different plants and herbs are traditionally used for their medicinal purposes. Because we are surrounded by mountains, right? So we don’t know that there are plants. On our side, we thought we were just messing around, like laughing. Actually, that’s under process in the Department of Science and Technology.

It helps, just like the straw, to raise the platelet. Okay? So again, this one is under process. Actually, there are five. So we thought men didn’t count. Hey, no. They have silhouettes, you too.
They will not be able to serve. Papaya men! Papaya men! You might be thinking differently. So, while the traditional herbal medicine is prevalent in many communities, there is also a continuous development of modern medicine.
Most of the time, traditional medicines are used, along with modern treatment of diseases, which are combined with traditional knowledge of the current medical treatment methods. So we have a group called PITHAC, Philippine Institiute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care. They are the ones who are studying different alternative plants that give us the medicine that we encounter. The herbal medicine in the Philippines is not only about physical health but also about culture and culture. Like what I said, this really started in our culture.
It is often recognized in traditional rituals and rituals that serve as a way of connecting the ancestors and spiritual faith. So, in general, herbal medicine has an important role in the culture of the Philippine people that shows a cultural history rich in biodiversity and integration of traditional and modern culture. With continued support, negotiation and regulation, herbal medicine can give a boost to the survival of the entire population and the origin of the communities of the Philippines. We have been complaining for a limited time that it is expensive to get sick, etc. However, we have alternatives that we can do. Okay?
The next slides, I will show you the 10 that are acceptable. The others are under the process of defad approval. But this one is established and really helpful. Okay, so number 1, this is the most famous, it has this. In UP Manila, we’ve been invited for the launching of this herbal med.
It’s already sold in drugstores because it’s BFAD approved. So, Lagundi. It’s a leaf. It’s not a root, but a leaf. We don’t know what the component of the branch is. It’s a different part. Because in the Philippines, the leaves are used for the cooking. That’s why you use leaves. So what is the source of the leaves, maybe, because one is to one usually, for example, I will roll it down, maybe in one, 10 grams or 20 grams, two glasses, then you will boil it, if it’s half, you will drink it. So two glasses of water for 15 minutes, that’s what you will prepare. Colds and pain, the decoction is boil, handful of leaves, You can touch it. Okay? And or flour. But we really have a limitation. Leaves. In water, to produce a glass, three times a day. Okay? It is for relieving. In skin disease such as dermatitis, scabies, ulcer and eczema, wash and clean the skin wound in the decoction. It is for washing. Just like there’s a son here who is a man.
Traditionally, when we do the traditional washing, we wash the wounds. Even for those who have diabetes, we can wash them because it really helps.
What does it really help? In headache, crash leaves may be applied on the forehead. And then next, rheumatisms, sprain, contusion or insect bites, pound the leaves and apply it on affected area. That’s why the saying goes. You can check on the mortar and pestle. Oh, okay. Sorry. Almereso, okay? You can check on it and then you can put it in the hospital. Next. This is not very familiar to me. Herba Buena or Yerba. So, in the hospital, in rheumatism, cough and cold, the one that… Gums, it can be used for pain in the stomach, menstrual and gas pain, toothache, nausea, fainting, insect bites and pruritis. It can also be used. So this is how you will prepare it.
Handful of leaves, then boil them. And kalimitan, generally by standard, it’s two glasses of water that’s being prepared. Then boil it. When it’s half done, it’s ready. Okay, next. There, Sambong. Okay, this is given by the National Kidney and Transplant Institute.
Aside from the medicine that she was given, because my mother had a stone in her kidney. Now, when she was removed through surgery, as an alternative for how many months? For three months, she was given a medicine called sambong. Aside from the medicine that she was given, because it helped her to cough.
The stones were removed from her kidney. Anti-edema means.
B/oiled chopped leaves in a glass of water for 15 minutes. Divide the concoction in three parts. Drink one part three times a day. Three times in the afternoon. In the diary, drink one part every three hours. If there’s diarrhea or diarrhea. Next.
When I was young, I used to bathe my sister. But now, we’re all white ladies, we’re all using this. But when… My brother, Bulutong, is the one he bathed. And this one, he also has one in his pouch. That’s why you should buy one if you have one in your… in your… what’s it called? Don’t get angry at your neighbors. At your bathroom. So, he can be used in diarrhea and stomach ache. And he’s white. I believe. Yes, you believe me. He has skin problems.
When you put it in the shower, it’s guaranteed to have experience. Next. I’m not very familiar with yugyan. What is it in the plant? Anti-helminthic. The seeds are taken two hours after suffer. If no worms are expelled, the dose may be repeated after one week. But it’s not given to children.
Findings that are prohibited for children, but it can remove… Ah… What is it called? Boolate. Okay. So this is Bayabas. This is really used to wash wounds. Aside from that, it can also cause diarrhea. So when preparing, you will gargle for toothache. Warm decoction is used for gargling. Hot, hot. Don’t use…
It’s hot, especially with the gum. So it’s hot, but it’s not that bad. It’s a good gum, right? Boil chopped leaves for 15 minutes of low fire. Do not cover and then let it cool and strain. So this is acapulco. This is also true because we used it in my cooking. It’s anti-fungal in the… ..buni. Fresh, matured leaves are pounded.
Apply soap to the affected area and one to two times a day. Actually, it can also help dogs with diarrhea. Yes, I agree. Next, is this a snake? I’m not very… This is a snake. So, is this a snake? This is the word,
is from a different culture. In our culture, the people who are in trouble are called Pancit Pancitan. This is made from a salad. My father had diabetes. He ate this. And it was said that it was reduced in sugar. Pancit Pancitan. Okay? So, the uric acid, there are high uric acids.
For those who have experience of rayuma, this is okay. But don’t think about it. Because synthetic drugs, after a few hours, they’re gone. This is a different action. It’s an alternative. So you need to be consistent in eating. You might say, I’m not going to go back. I’m not going to go back because you should eat regularly. But all the bad things are too much, right ma’am? You need moderation. Okay, next.
There, garlic. It’s really high blood. It’s good for the liver, but it can also help with hypertension and toothache. Next. Palaya. This is really good for diabetes. Chop leaves and boil in a glass of water for 15 minutes. Don’t cover it. Okay. And then 1 to 3 cups a day after meal. Or you can eat it on a regular basis. On a daily basis. When you eat it on a meal. My mother used to say, we’re vegetarians, we didn’t eat meat. At 85 years old, she had diabetes. She had hypertension because her father died. But generally, she didn’t have any disease. Because she ate this, we always have this in our meals. Next.
I don’t have any more. So what should we remember? How do we prepare our medicinal plants? Number one, avoid using insecticides because it can leave the taste of the plants. It’s really not allowed. When we studied insulin, what we did was, I was given the Institute of Human Nutrition of Food.
I asked for a plant, but it is not allowed. Fertilizer is not allowed because it can alter the content. It is also bad for the body and it is also bad for the plant. Number two, when preparing the plant, use a plant. You cannot use a stainless steel plant because it does not have…
Basically, it’s clay. It doesn’t emit chemicals when you hit it. It’s very, very safe. It’s very expensive. It was bought by Josie for a hundred. But it’s really not allowed. Okay? Next, remove the cover while boiling over low heat. Next.
Use only the parts of the plant that are being fought. Because if it’s a root, use only the roots. Because that’s acceptable. If it’s only leaves, use only leaves. But we’re limited in using only leaves. Then, follow the recommended preparation in the right dose. Use only one type of medicinal plant for each type of symptoms or illness.
7 or 8 is not enough. The doctor said it’s not enough. It should be one by one because it’s a competition. You don’t know what chemical you’re creating when you combine them. Next, stop giving herbal medicine if you have an unwanted reaction like allergy.
The effect is that it has stopped. We all have different biological and chemical components in our bodies. It may be effective to you, but not to your mom. It may be effective to her, but not to others. If the symptoms and symptoms are not reduced after two to three doses of herbal medicine, consult a doctor. Okay? So, don’t self-medicate. So, the important thing is, uh, to say that life in the Philippines is hard, you need to find an alternative, okay? A way. There are many of us around us. And we can plant it in our soil.
And ask for neighbors, okay? If they have one. So I think that’s all.
