I was listening to the radio the other day when I heard this interview with Dr. Jaime Galvez Tan, who, when I Googled his name, was the Philippines’ foremost herbalist and the former Secretary of the Department of Health. He shared about the wonderful effect of drinking the Tawa-Tawa tea to those suffering from dengue. It can increase the platelet count and the patient will feel tremendous improvement in just 24 hours.
All you need to do is boil 5 to 6 whole Tawa-Tawa plant for one minute. After cooling, let the patient drink 1 glass and continue giving it for 24 hours.
According to Dr. Tan, this plant can be seen anywhere, it might even be in your backyard without you knowing it, but still, before boiling a plant, and giving it to the patient, make sure that it’s really the Tawa-Tawa plant.
Although there is still no official word coming from the Department of Health, it wouldn’t hurt to plant some in your pots, just in case your family might need it in the future, especially now that there are thousands of cases of dengue recorded in the Philippines.

Dapat ipakalat ang photos ng actual tawa tawa plant as you'll see it on the ground para may guidance ang mga tao. A friend lost his young daughter to dengue last week and I hope wala nang sumunod pa dun.
Hey, I just noticed you have my badge up as your top commenter for august! Yay!
you're right, we should have actual photos of the plant… it was so sad to hear about your friend's daughter, nakakatakot talaga ang dengue.
Yup, you have free adspace for 1 month… thanks for the visits!
