[Title] => Herb it!
[Summary] => Herbs have been valued for their medical properties for over 5,000 years. India uses them as part of the Ayurveda holistic system of healing. The Chinese apothecary relies solely on herbs.
The Philippines, however, has yet to explore the full potential of medicinal plants despite the fact that our ancestors have long known of their benefits. This is unfortunate since the Philippines is the seventh country in the Asian regionand the 23rd in the worldwith the most plant species, each with its own healing properties.
