The return to natural healing, the use of organic medicines is the need of
our time now (Ladion, 1985). According to the World Health Organization (WHO)
80% of the people in throughout the world currently uses herbal medicine for
primary health care (Singh et al.,2014). We must rediscover the healing
remedies of our nature. Herbal plants have been used for centuries to cure all
sorts of ailments. Even though modern medicine has improved our lives
considerably, both modern medicine and alternative medicine still rely on the
age-old healing properties found in medicinal herbs.
Herbal medicines have been used throughout the beginning of human history and
played a pivotal role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases (Singh
et al.,2014). Researchers at the National Institute of Science and technology
(NIST),the Philippine Council for health Research and development(PCHRD), and
the University of the Philippines have proven the effectiveness of medicinal
plants(Ladion,1985).
