Herbal Plants : Let's Cure Ourselves through Natural Made *A day full of blessings, I woke up with the lovely sounds of raindrops. After half an hour, the rain stopped and I need to get up, I walk around and saw that most of our plants already have flowers. Different kinds, different colors and shape, until I remember the article of Sis @BCH_LOVER, she shared about the herbal plants that she used when her kids are sick, if you haven't read it you can check it* *here**.* https://read.cash/@BCH_LOVER/herbal-plants-that-i-used-when-my-kids-were-sick-5d529e87 *Since it's a helpful piece, I would like to share what my parents usually use, even in their daily diet. I'm not into taking tablet as a medicine, I prefer to eat fruits, chocolate and water, but these herbals that I will shared are inspired from them.* ***Flexing my sponsors, people who guide and support me throughout my journey here. You guys can check them too:)*** ________________________ Oregano

I honestly don't like the smell of oregano, but did you know that my parents used to put this above our newly cooked rice, imagine how the whole rice inside the rice cooker smells because of that. But then, I told them not to do it again because it ruin my appetite. Oregano is a natural antibiotics, so my parents use this as their herbal juice. Inside our 1 Liter glass pitcher, they put oregano leaves, slice of lemon, ginger and flower of blue ternate. Blue Ternate

Blue Ternate or Butterfly pea this is also one of the herbal plant that they usually use. We have this in our backyard before but since my relatives and neighbors always cut it's branch, then it died. Asde from herbal juice my parents also put this in their coffee, or in a hot water wherein they will soak it's flower for 5 minutes then they will eat it; chewing the flower like a goat. Guava Leaves

We use guava leaves in doing bath after recovering from fever. My mom will prepare a mild temperature of water mixed with these guava leaves. It feels good, just you smell like guava leaves after bath. In some cases my parents use this when they have back pain Aloe Vera

This is commonly known for hair growth until the studies about this plant widen, now this was use as moisturizer or anything that you can use in skin care. I cannot use it for that purposes because we only have 4 plants of Aloe Vera; don't want to scold me if I cut it all. Another is for juice, I saw my parents making this into a drink added with lemon. They do it to have a proper digestion, also for my mom who wants to loss weight Mayana Plant There are different varieties of Mayana plant, I have mentioned this in my article *My Silent Friends at Home* https://read.cash/@Ling01/my-silent-friends-at-home-ce3eff0a

As of now, these are the varieties available in our garden. We used this as decoration but my aunt told us that in province they use this to treat wounds. Just like how we use horseradish or Moringa, we crush it and get it's juice to treat the affected skin; this is also how Mayana works Tawa-Tawa Plant

This plant is known to cure dengue. When I was a kid my parents are afraid everytime that we have fever, thinking that there's a possibility that it was a dengue. My younger brother once been hospitalized when he is only 5 years old due to dengue. According to my father, he felt pity to my brother being injected multiple times in a day. He told the doctor about tawa-tawa plant but it doesn't agree on him. The next day he pay all our bills in hospital then he carry my younger brother without telling to the doctor and escape in the hospital. In our house my parents use tawa-tawa plant as the water for my brother, and fortunately he was cured and finally recovered. This plant was featured as the possible cure for covid virus; we don't know these kind of herbal can help us to defeat this virus. ________________________ **All photos were taken by me unless it was stated**
