Celebrity moms do it the natural way

MANILA, Philippines - In this day and age when working mothers have become the norm, mothers have no choice but to find alternative ways to monitor and stay in close touch with their kids. Many busy moms have resorted to the usual practice of leaving a note on the dinner table or the ref to communicate with their equally busy kids. Then there are phone calls and text messages to closely supervise kids and keep in constant touch. While these modern means of communication are helpful, most mothers would attest that nothing could take the place of spending quality time with kids.

“Spending time with your kids despite your busy schedule is mothering the natural way,” explains celebrity mom Suzi Abrera who makes it a point to give ample attention to daughters Leona, 6; Jade, 5; and Nella, 4. For Suzi, bonding through play and other fun activities is perfect for little kids. “We enjoy simple games like piko and luksong-tinik or doing art stuff like drawing and coloring. Even with these simple activities, they appreciate that I’m there to share the fun with them.” 

For TV personality Winnie Cordero, traveling to different places is her most treasured bonding activity with daughters Abby, 19, and Bettina, 9. She shares, “I make sure to set aside time so we can go on trips together. I take them to interesting places, which I’ve already covered through my work. Through this, I’m able to get to know them better while enjoying activities we both love.”

Natural mothering for former supermodel-turned-entrepreneur Abbygale Arenas-de Leon comes in the form of enjoying her eight-year-old son Irijah’s favorite watersports activities together. “I spend my free time indulging in Ijah’s favorite hobbies like wakeboarding, parasailing, and snorkeling. Doing these activities together shows him that I take interest in whatever things he likes.”

Obviously, these moms believe spending quality time with their children and doing activities they enjoy is the most natural way of mothering. And even when the common illness like colds or cough strike, these moms believe natural is the way to go. 

These celebrity moms have learned that natural medicines offer similar benefits as chemical-based ones. An example of which is lagundi, a common medicinal plant in the Philippines, which provides the same healing effects as over-the-counter cough medicines but is proven much safer for kids. 

And now, these moms get the same natural cough-relieving effects in Ascof Lagundi by Pascual Laboratories. Made from 100-percent lagundi leaves, Ascof Lagundi helps not only in effectively relieving cough but also in treating acute bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis. Ascof Lagundi syrup also comes in kiddie flavors like ponkan, menthol, and strawberry that children love. And as reported in clinical trials, Ascof Lagundi syrup doesn’t pose side effects. It has also been made affordable for moms.   

Ascof Lagundi is available in 300 mg. tablet and 600 mg. forte tablet and capsule, and 60- and 120-ml. syrup forms.
