[Title] => Organic Farming
[Summary] => Organic farming has been touted as the most natural means of farming, wherein chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers are not used. Essentially, organic farming makes use of compost, manure, peat moss, and other natural fertilizers in the cultivation of farms or gardens. It is also touted as "biological farming."
This method has been called an alternative to the conventional means, yet history says it has been utilized even way before modern means of farming have been formulated.

[Summary] => An American suffering from asthma finds relief in lagundi tablets manufactured in the Philippines. A European athlete experiencing excruciating pains from kidney stones takes sambong tablets to flush them out.

[Title] => ‘Sambong’ good for kidney problems
[Summary] => Laboratory and clinical studies recently revealed that sambong – a medicinal plant found in the Philippines – is safer than many manufactured medicines sold over the counter.
Sambong has been proven to be an effective diuretic and can increase a patient’s urine volume by an average of 60 percent. The plant enhances the body’s natural ability to increase urine volume and thus, helps get rid of excess body fluids.
