Philippine Wonder Plants

Malunggay

Dubbed as the “miracle vegetable,” the lowly malunggay has been proven to provide numerous benefits, using its pods, flowers, leaves, oil, roots and seeds. Malunggay, or horseradish tree (scientific name, Moringa oleifera L.), has been found by biochemists and molecular anthropologists to be rich in vitamin C and A, iron and high density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol. It can also hike male potency and be used as feedstock for biofuels.

Sambong

Sambong contains essential oils, such as camphor, which can be used to treat colds; Borneol, which can be used for anticancer medicines; and powder, which can reportedly dissolve kidney stones. Meanwhile, published researches indicate that sambong (Blumea Balsamifera) have antidiarrhetic and antigastralgic properties. It can also be used as an expectorant and can be given for worms and dysentery. It is a diuretic, and is used in cases of hypertension and mild to moderate congestive heart failure.

Banaba

Banaba has long been popularized by the Japanese in the form of a tea, and has been believed to contain antiobesity substances. Scientists are currently studying the corosolic acid found in banaba, which is believed to help cure diabetes. It can also regulate blood pressure, aid the digestive system and ease urination.

Lagundi

Researches have shown that lagundi, which contains Chrysoplenol D, can provide relief from asthma, pharyngitis, rheumatism, dyspepsia, boils, diarrhea, cough, colds, fever and flu and other bronchopulmonary disorders. It has been found useful for the removal of worms and boils.
