MANILA, Philippines - Well-being is greatly valued by Lucy Torres-Gomez. That is why she makes sure that her family embraces a healthy lifestyle.
Lucy reveals that one of her biggest secrets to good health is opting for organic herbs and natural medicines over those that are made from chemicals.
To help relieve cough, Lucy turns to ASCOF Lagundi, a natural cough medicine made from 100 percent Lagundi leaves. ASCOF Lagundi is commercially available in tablet (300 mg and 600 mg), syrup (ponkan, menthol regular and sugar-free and strawberry flavors) and capsule (600 mg) formats. As one of the 10 herbal medicines endorsed by the Department of Health, Lagundi is an effective natural medicine with clinically-proven therapeutic value.
More importantly, ASCOF Lagundi Syrup has none of the side effects commonly found in chemical cough medicines.
Lucy considers this a blessing for parents like her. “Filipinos shouldn’t have to suffer from the high cost of medicines. Our country is blessed by God with plenty of medicinal plants to help us fight diseases. For me, natural medicines are a much better alternative. I feel fortunate and blessed to have such a reliable and strong partner in Pascual Laboratories, because they have taken the initiative to introduce natural medicines like ASCOF Lagundi to the public. In a way, this is like “going back to our roots” — they enjoin people to adapt a healthier lifestyle through herbal remedies just like the olden times, and they make these alternatives available to as many Filipinos as possible,” says Lucy.
