Chi, on scientifically proven herbal medicines

30 May 2009 79 Comments

sl3818721Our Dayong Baryo writer for today is from England who’s visiting Barrio Siete who’s gonna be talking about scientifically proven herbal medicines. She started writing when she was still in High School. That time, she wrote a novel in a notebook, she just didn’t know if it’s now being sold at the Amazon hehe! She also wrote poems and some were published in “Heartbeat”, their official school publication and continued writing essays while at the University. She even won something from a literary contest to which she claims “nagkamali ata ang judges!” Hahaha! Some of her poems were published in the University’s Official publication sometimes with the help of the author of chocolateword. If you want to learn more about the author, visit her at Journey in my head.

Ako po si Chi, isang Pinay na andito na sa Inglatera, at naimbitahan akong dumalaw sa Barrio Siete ng inyong kapitbahay na si Mahalia. Ay napakaganda nga naman ng inyong Barrio Siete at talagang Fiesta nga! Na balak ko tuloy maging bahagi ng inyong Lugar kayat eto, nag sa submit ng papeles na sana’y maaprobahan.

Ako’y lumaki sa aking lola at di ko maikakaila na sa kanya ko nakuha ang aking kaalaman sa paggagamot. Noong bata pa ko, sa kanya ako naiiwan sa dahilang ang aking mga peyrents ay parehong ngtatarbaho. nooy lagi nya akong inuutusan na manguha ng mga dahon ng halaman at kung ano ano na gamit nya sa pag doktor kwakwak na me kabuluhan at scientifically tested naman pala. At ang mga modernong tao ang actually mga mangmang at hunghang! ARAY! kasama ako roon dahil di rin ako paniwala somehow and tingin ko pa e parang witch sa mga me kaalamang ganon.

Dito sa england, bumabalik ang mga tao sa herbal medicines na mahal pa saa mga gamot! Isa na ko sa kanila! Anyway bago ako maiba ng landas ay eto ang mga kaalamang barrio ko sa mga gamot na talagang “Scientifically proven”.

Sa sugat, galis aso,impeksyon – murang dahon lang ng bayabas katapat nyan! pakuluan ang isang dakot na dahon hanggang maging kulay tsaa ang kulay ng tubig, lagyan ng kaunting asin, palamigin hanggang sa maging lukewarm at saka ilanggas(ihugas o ibababad) sa sugat.pagkatapos ay tuyuin.

Sa sakit sa puson o nabalisawsaw o nag iihi, pandan lang po katapat nyan. 3-4 dahon pakuluan, gawing tsaa. di ba kadali!

Sa kahol (ubo)- oregano lang po! pigain at inumin ang katas (2 kutsara pong katas) pede pong pigaan ng lemon or ialamansi pra mas epektibo.

Sa kabag o sakit ng tyan, magdangdang sa apoy ng tubang balayang at itapal sa tyan.

Sa sakit ng ulo, oregano, 2-3 dahon patakan ng konting asin tapos ay ligisin. itapal sa noo at temples.(ligisin meaning pipitin o katasin, ay hindi! eto na lang pagulungan ng bote o rolling pin ang dahon para kumatas at lumambot. ay ka hirap magtagalog!)

Sa rayuma, muscle pain, tendonitis at mga katulad na ailment pati bugbog at liay, wag na ho kaong bumili ng chili plaster, chili rin ang content non! SILI kung baga! yong pong hindi labuyo para di masunog ang balat nyo. ipahid ang katas sa affected area tapalan o puputan ng panyo o kung ano mang tela. walah! wala ng sakit!

Tut ache, magmumumog ng maligamgam na tubig na me sankatutak na asin!

Sa binulutong, naku uso bulutong dyan sa pinas di ba? mag langgas o maligo ng pinalamig na pinakuluang sampalok.(dahon)

Sa mga kalbo (alopecia, bald patches) Sibuyas, yes! onion lang po ang katapat ng kakakalbuhan nila! gumayat ng sibuyas at ihudhod o ipahid sa kalbo part ng ulo.

Sa sor trot, luya! o kung medyo sosyal kayo, lemon or kalamsi na me halong honey and inumin nyo.

Naku napaka rami pong gamot na naturale na pede nating mahingi o madekwat sa tabi ng kalye o sa hardin ng kapitbahay. believe you me! mga kataas din ng mga dahon dahon ang nsa mga gamot ntin. SA kasulukuyan ngagumagamit ako ng poison ivy tablets para sa aking shoulder, e ano bang nsa ibuprofen at diclofenac? yon ding propertiesng poison ivy! ay karamba!

At kung ang itatanong nyo naman ay ay hilot, buga, usog at suob, me kaalaman rin ako bagamat ako’y skeptic sa mga ito, ano baga’t nakagamot rin at ang lingkod ninyong manggamot ay hindi rin maipaliwanag. Ang mga ito ay baka sakaling mailantad rin sa mga darating na panahon. Sa ngayon sana’y nakapasa ito sa ating mahal na reyna. your majesty,the queen.

    • roni says:

      Alopecia areata, sibuyas nga! o kahit anong irritant sa scalp, pede rrn ang bawang, pero dapat sa early stage pa lang ang medication. pag matagal na at malaki na, kelanggan na ng derma.

  • mel beckham says:

    trulili! maraming halamang gamot talaga ang mas effective compared to the synthetic ones. pati yung mga damo na akala natin ay walang halaga can actually become a source of treatment on certain illnesses/diseases. mabuti dito sa pinas, relatively cheap kasi makikita mo naman kahit saan. yun nga lang, tamang application or procedure ang dapat kung paano ito gagamitin. importante din na wala itong sangkap na poisonous kahit pa sabihing herbal ito.

    • Chi says:

      thats tru! me bilang din ng dahon at kung ilang beses iinumin at kung paano otherwise me side effects din. so be very careful!

  • orphicpixel says:

    mabisa ang kanyang mga gamot, usong uso ito nuon sa aming baryo

    • Chi says:

      naku kahit ngayon! mas epektibo pa. nabanggit ko nga na dito sa englatera bumabalik ang mga tao pti mga doctor sa mga herbal at homeophatic meds.

  • GabbyD says:

    in what sense is this scientifically proven? may trials tlga?

    • bluepanjeet says:

      actually in the ads of these herbal meds, the DOH required a caution in every end of the ads “NO OFFICIAL THERAPEUTIC CLAIM”. some herbal meds are just distributed as a supplement pero yung iba dyan nirerecomend talaga ng mga doctors especially when the setting is public health kung saan mas accessible ang herbal meds.

      no formal scientific claim (meaning walang government and privately fundend research) pero these herbal meds undergone independent studies and research by university students and filipino scientists. then these pharmaceutical companies develop the research and peddle the herbs as meds with the approval of BFAD.

      • Mahalia says:

        most of the government and big private medical restrictions are not based on the findings of the cure or medicinal value of the herbal medicine. FDA and other companies are after the consumers’ money and loyalty. Call me conspiracy theorist, but sometimes, grants and research funds are rarely given to study these because they do not want competition to let say antibiotics and such. Mawawalan sila ng malaking chunk ng business considering na mapupulot at maitatanim mo lang ang mga ito sa tabi tabi.

      • bluepanjeet says:

        @Mahalia – this is true. actually this kind of theory was also discussed in Health Ethics during our time. its actually an open secret about the conspiracy of pharmaceutical companies, insurance agencies and some doctors in the us.

        Pero some NGOs in the united states especially the cancer societies are fighting back by establishing their own research on herbal meds. kasi nga ang pinaka number one blockade ay itong mga pharmaceutical companies na ayaw ng competition.

  • Chi says:

    yap! kadalasan ang mga plant extracts e ang ingredients ng meds ntin? tulad ng sennecot from senna sya, rhus tox na gmit ko, from poison ivy. me researches tungkol sa mga medicinal plants and they are scientifically proven. kelangan lang tamang paggamit.

  • Silver says:

    Ayos na post ito ah.

    Dagdag lang. Yung dahon ng madre cacao e magandang gamot din sa galis aso. Hehe. Dogs and humans alike.

    Gumamet din ako ng herbal para sa mga doggies ko. Haha.

  • reynz says:

    I now remember in high school, I had migraine na twing sasapit ang alas dos, an sakit sakit nang ulo ko na parang dinudurog nang kung ano!

    Pinainom ako nun nang cacao “tinubod na cacao” paki-tagalog nga Cat! HAHAHAHA! hindi ko alam sa tagalog hehehe

  • The Cat says:

    Pinainom ako nun nang cacao “tinubod na cacao” paki-tagalog nga Cat! HAHAHAHA! hindi ko alam sa tagalog hehehe

    sorry reynz, hindi ko mahanap yong bicol dictionary ko, baka ginawa na namang pantukod noong kapatid ko.

    tanungin mo kaya si glo. kaya lang nasa menila yon ngayon.

  • The Cat says:

    cacao kasi is the raw material for cocoa and choc.

    when roasted and powdered, it helps reduce headaches. black choc is anti-oxidant.

    in what sense is this scientifically proven? may trials tlga?in what sense is this scientifically proven? may trials tlga?

    Contrary to the belief of many, this herbal medicine which is called phytomedicine is an old practice that had been chronicled in old books of different races, culture and religion.

    In fact empirical evidences were gathered from old books from india, from egypt and aztecs.

    for centuries, herbal plansts that were found effective were listed in their books so that researches used these information as their basis which plants to test.

    the testing is different from the usual drug testing where animals and test tubes.

    the examination starts with a botanist, ethnobotanist, plant ecologist who identify who studies the biological activities of plants based on the traditional application.

    for ref.

    you can read herbal and supplements
    evidenced-based guide by lesley braun and marc cohen.

    BTW, the DOH also approved herbal medicines.

    They are the following:

    1. Akapulko (Cassia alata) – also known as “bayabas-bayabasan” and “ringworm bush” in English, this herbal medicine is used to treat ringworms and skin fungal infections.

    2. Ampalaya (Momordica charantia) – known as “bitter gourd” or “bitter melon” in English, it most known as a treatment of diabetes (diabetes mellitus), for the non-insulin dependent patients.

    3. Bawang (Allium sativum) – popularly known as “garlic”, it mainly reduces cholesterol in the blood and hence, helps control blood pressure.

    4. Bayabas (Psidium guajava) – “guava” in English. It is primarily used as an antiseptic, to disinfect wounds. Also, it can be used as a mouth wash to treat tooth decay and gum infection.

    5. Lagundi (Vitex negundo) – known in English as the “5-leaved chaste tree”. It’s main use is for the relief of coughs and asthma.

    6. Niyog-niyogan (Quisqualis indica L.) – is a vine known as “Chinese honey suckle”. It is effective in the elimination of intestinal worms, particularly the Ascaris and Trichina. Only the dried matured seeds are medicinal -crack and ingest the dried seeds two hours after eating (5 to 7 seeds for children & 8 to 10 seeds for adults). If one dose does not eliminate the worms, wait a week before repeating the dose.

    7. Sambong (Blumea balsamifera)- English name: Blumea camphora. A diuretic that helps in the excretion of urinary stones. It can also be used as an edema.

    8. Tsaang Gubat (Ehretia microphylla Lam.) – Prepared like tea, this herbal medicine is effective in treating intestinal motility and also used as a mouth wash since the leaves of this shrub has high fluoride content.

    9. Ulasimang Bato (Peperomia pellucida) – also known as “pansit-pansitan” it is effective in fighting arthritis and gout. The leaves can be eaten fresh (about a cupful) as salad or like tea. For the decoction, boil a cup of clean chopped leaves in 2 cups of water. Boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain, let cool and drink a cup after meals (3 times day).

    10. Yerba Buena (Clinopodium douglasii) – commonly known as Peppermint, this vine is used as an analgesic to relive body aches and pain. It can be taken internally as a decoction or externally by pounding the leaves and applied directly on the afflicted area.

    • bluepanjeet says:

      Hahaha spot on Mam Cat. Yan mismo ang nasa board exam ng Nursing. Its on the blue book of the community nursing and the DOH primer on herbal meds.

    • GabbyD says:

      i wonder if the faith in these can be measured somehow, using double blind testing.

      there’s no reason why not; but i can see why people would hesitate to test it, if people believes it works AND as bluepanjeet says, nasa exam na sya ng nursing.

      why rock the boat,eh?

      • Mahalia says:

        tawas cures putok. most of the time!

      • Silver says:

        @ mahalia,

        LOL.

        How about bad breath? Hehe.

      • Chi says:

        @silver: ay listerine na kelangan don! hahaha. o kya kung brave enough, magmumug din ng tawas LOL!

      • Silver says:

        Hanshaket nun. hahaha.

      • bluepanjeet says:

        @GabbyD

        Mawalang galang na, are you a doctor or a nurse or your course related to medicine? If so, it should be a no brainer to you that it’s all in the book. even american authors and even NCSBN included these herbal meds under different names, in the NCLEX exam. Try enrolling in the local board review or NCLEX review then come back here and tell me if my claim is worth your skepticism.

        NOT all people believe in the herbal meds. its not about faith in using them, but the information dissemination that comes with it. Some HIGH and MIGHTY people in the urbanized areas hesitate to use these herbal meds because even on meds they tend to buy branded ones, likened to signature clothes. SHALLOW but true. Who can blame them? there is not even a pot of soil left in their cramped expensive lots to plant herbal meds. For all we know, the branded meds are just as cheap (in production) as the imitated clothes peddled in the streets of Divisoria.

      • Silver says:

        A numbskull born yesterday.

        Hahahahaha….

      • Mahalia says:

        any medicine requires a dose of faith, herbal or otherwise. Kung di naniniwala na gagaling ka halimbawa sa anti-depressants na tine take mo, kahit na isang baldeng pills ang itake, ay ma dedepress ka pa rin.

        Faith is when you act on your belief diba? When you want to belief na gagaling ka, mag-papaduktor ka, iinom ng gamot, maghuhukay ng uod at kamote para lang gumaling ka. Kasi halimbawa di ka naniniwala na magpapagaling sa iyo yung medisina, malilimutan mo syang lulunin.

        Ang iyong pag-galing ay kaugnay rin sa iyong hope at kagustuhang gumaling. Herbal, generic, branded o kahit prayer healing.

        Kaya nga pareho kaming bumait ni Bluep dahil nag-pray over kami sa isa’t isa noong unang panahon. hahahah

      • GabbyD says:

        @blue

        i was relying on you earlier comment, na sinabi mong nasa exam ng nurse ang herbal meds.

      • Mahalia says:

        I agree also in Bluepanjeet’s diskursyon na maliit ang budget ng information dissemination ng herbal medicine dahil business ng malalaking kumpanya na gumawa ng gamot na bibilhin ng tao.Kaya doon ang tutok ng medicine field. Kung tuturuan ang tao na pwede palang kumuha na lang sa hardin, paano na ang business nila. Lugersya Balboa!

        Tingnan mo ang bansang Tsina, ang mga duktor nila ay di pwedeng maging duktor sa ibang bansa, dahil yung ilang taong paghaba haba nilang iniaaral ay homeopathic medicine. Ang kanilang medical books ay nakabase sa mga lumang sulatin ng mga sinauna nilang ancestors mula ng 4,000 years ago. Gusto rin ito ng gubyerno dahil malaki ang business nila sa herbal medicine.

        At di dahil herbal medicine ang tawag dito ay pipitsugin. Halimbawa yung ipinagbibili nilang perlas para sa pampaganda ng mukha, ilang libong dolyar ang kalahating kilo.

        Kaya nakabatay lang ito sa kung ano ang focus ng isang community or bansa kung ano ang isusulong nila sa larangan ng mga gamot. Tayo sa Pilipinas ay malalim na ang ugat sa komersyalismo, kaya’t monopolya na ng malalaking drug companies ang kanilang agenda.

      • bluepanjeet says:

        @GabbyD. Thats actually the point Gabby D. No offense but it sounds that you are skeptic in the efficacy of the herbal meds, well in fact, and logic would say, that the DOH and especially the board of nurses would not include these meds on their primer and exam respectively if its not efficacious to the disease. The least thing that the BON would like to have are nurses who are trained as quack doctors and herbolario. the only point is that it has no formal or government supported studies precisely because of the Philippine setting wherein funds are lacking. just because it has no government funding doesnt mean that the independent studies by the researchers and scientist is not valid. pure and simple. no pun intended btw.

      • bluepanjeet says:

        Haha. Mahalia yun ang faith healing haha. may pray over.

        anyhow all the branded meds that we have started from the herbal meds. when alchemy was discovered, organic and inorganic elements were combined and tested for the purpose of medicine. kaya you are right on track about the chinese meds and practice.

        come to think of it, most meds are made from organic elements (check your table of elements) and ironic as it may seems, herbals and plants are also made up of the same organic elements used to produce branded meds. so what’s the fuss about efficacy? they all stemmed from the same primordial organic soup. its just a matter of trial and error. even canabis (marijuana) and opium are considered meds in the ancient times until today, regulated only because of its addicted elements.

      • GabbyD says:

        @blue

        sana nga tama ka sa motivation ng BON.

        at anyrate, it won’t kill anyone (i hope), so its no problem. i just hope they don’t use it in leiu of the drug-trial proven drugs

        if they could prove its efficacy, then they could expand the market, sell it more widely.

      • bluepanjeet says:

        Gabby, I appreciate your interest on this topic, it actually made me recall my education.

        I just want to make some clarification.

        The BON is an independent entity. They do not only make the board questions, they also practically create the nursing curriculum hand in hand with the CHED.

        Now about the meds, they get it from the DOH. The BON add the meds and other updates in the Nursing curriculum. They add what the DOH dictates and update based of course on their own findings in lieu of the private and independent researches.

        now about the difference of the herbal meds with the branded ones. the branded ones has already added substances thats why it seems its more efficacious than the herbal meds. but mind you, these branded ones has side effects detrimental to health. while herbal drugs may have some, but they are not that life threatening. Except of course if you consider a poisonous mushroom as herbal meds. So your point is actually off tangent since in reality its more safer to use herbal meds. Of course only the recognized ones. we dont want to use any poison mushroom as meds right? and I dont think DOH and the medical board and nursing associations in america would recommend this drug if they are in itself rsiky to health.

        The point is this Gabby, if you take a lagundi and oregano leaf for your ailment lets say very far from its intended therapeutic target (cancer for exmple), and you take a non-specific dose, there are no harm done in body. nothing, wala. kasi nga wala silang side effects na life threatening. pruritus, erythema, irritaion maybe, but it would not be detrimental or make the condition more worse.

        unlike when you take aspirin for example for headache and you have a history of ulcer, then you are in big trouble. If you take aspirin and you have bleeding gums, you are in for a big trouble. If you take aspirin and you have hemophilia, for sure you are in deep deep dung. precisely because, these branded drugs, which you are indirectly implying that they are safer than herbal meds, tried, tested and marketed as such, are actually more dangerous than the latter.

        This is the reason why doctors need to prescribe branded drugs because of its side effects and we nurses and doctors have s\tudied extensively the pharmacological implications and drug reactions of every meds in relationship to their own kind regardless of taxonomy.

        Herbal meds doesnt need prescription from the doctors only recommendations and suggestions simply because it has no LIFE THREATENING side effects.

        They dont need to sell it or market it widely because herbal meds dont need to be packaged. mas humihina ang herbal meds pag dinehydrate mo and put it on a tablet form. mas powerfuul sya pag extracts and its more accessible sa likod ng bahay sa paso kesa tatakbo ka pa sa botika ni gloria, which by the way also sells packaged ampalaya, lagundi etc. in tablet forms.

        now why the “no therapeutic claim” sa mga ads ng mga herbal supplements sa tv, kasi nga supplement na lang sya. mahina na ang potency nya kasi nga dinehydrate. pero kung yung lagundi eh nilabon mo (boil), at ininom, bukas sigurado ko sa yo wala na ubo mo. pwera lang kung nainum ka din ng matamis, nagsisig\arilyo ka at hindi na ubo nararamdaman mo kungdi TB na.

        ngayon gabby ang tanong, with all of my convuluted comments above, ano ang mas safe, herbal meds o branded meds?

        pag hindi mo pa nakuha eh ewan ko na kapatid.

        crash course na yan sa community nursing and pharmacology.

        Pax et Bonum

  • The Cat says:

    as diabetic, i am using the bitter gourd tea and eat plenty of amplaya.

    it doesn’t cure my diabetic but at least ir maintains my blood sugar level.

    even with the drug maintenance, the diabetes can still get worse. my blood sugar level shot up last dec due to holiday’s sweets and carbos.

    then i run out of bitter gourd tea. it is not really tea. it is dried cut up ampalaya that you boil and make into tea. my bs stabilized when i eat boiled, ampalaya at least for 3 days.

    • Mahalia says:

      I’ll try this CaT. I have few plants of ampalaya sa likod ng basurahan namin. I am not diabetic but I was gest.Diab. which turns into a diabetic condition if I do not watch it. Pang preventive measures din.

    • Silver says:

      Totoo yan Ms. Cat.

      My father is diabetic too. At pinasok namen sa diet nya ang ampalaya at green leafy vegetables.

      Wagi talaga. Namentain na nya ang kanyang blood sugar.

      Sabay iwas na rin syempre sa bawal. haha.

    • roni says:

      no offense to blu (anlaki mo pre’), at sa lahat ng mga cute, pero alam na natin lahat na malapitin sa sakit at mahina ang immune system ng mga chubby (pero hindi lahat). Virgin coconut oil, sagana sa lauric acid, would boost anyone’s immune system. I’m using it myself,orally because I needed moisture sa lugar na kinalalagyan ko na ang humidity eh average 8%. Pansin ko rin na pawisin ako pag nakakapag-take ako nito, which is a good sign, lumalabas ang mga toxins sa katawan.

      • bluepanjeet says:

        @Mahalia Huy ano ba klasmeyt haha. joke nga yung reply ko sa taas sayo at hindi offensement. actually inaknowledge ko nga at binababoy ko sarili ko na kaya ako naging chubby-slash-healthy dahil malakas talaga ako kumain at isang patunay ay nakita mo ako lumamon. ang tampo ay para lang sa hindi kilala. kapatid simula pa ata grade 10 kilala mo na ako na limang spaghetti pinarereserve ko sa canteen during recess hahaha No harm than klasmeyt. nasa context tayo ng biruan.

        Pero aminin mo bagay sa akin ang chubby kesa payatot nung HS haha

      pano yan mahilig ako sa baboy? hahahaha

      • roni says:

        somewhere in the bible (i guess) pinagbawal ang pagkain ng mga hayop na split ang mga paa. The effect is, would split your mind’s decision most of the times, leading you to stress.(my opinion)

    i wonder if the faith in these can be measured somehow, using double blind testing.

    there’s no reason why not; but i can see why people would hesitate to test it, if people believes it works AND as bluepanjeet says, nasa exam na sya ng nursing.

    why rock the boat,eh?,

    the herbs have been clinically tested before they were approved for prescription as traditional medicine for the treatment of various ailments.

    This is different from faith healing where faith has something to do with the effect.

    if that is so, then any herb can just be prescribed and make people believe that they can be healed.

    • GabbyD says:

      yes, but by faith, i meant faith in their efficacy.

      di ba this is similar to faith healing, in that the healing comes from the person’s faith in the technique/drug. hell, this is true for all drugs (which explains the benefits of placebos)

      they have been tested, not for efficacy, but for safety, i.e. mamamatay ba ako kung ginamit ko to?

      the answer is, thankfully, no. but as someone else has said, its the efficacy that the issue.

    Naalala ko ‘yung halaman sa tapat ng bahay namin, akala ko damo lang. May mga kapitbahay na humihingi. Sabi ko sige, bakit ano ba ‘yan? Damong Maria ‘yan eh. Ah ganun ba? Simula no’n hinayaan ko na lang tumubo ‘yung halaman sa bakuran. Nakakatuwa, tumubo na lang siya kusa tapos may silbi pala.
