A Healthier Community with Herbal Gardening.



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Nature has actually provided for remedies to most of our ailments, but we now resort to taking synthetic medicines right away. We are enticed to rely right only on drug stores and medical doctors thinking they are the only ones that could cure us.

But herbal products like Citronella oil has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, among others.

In addition to using citronella oil, we can also use the plant itself as a decorative element in our home and as a repellent for different pests.

The plant could then be an alternative to using the more expensive over-the-counter or doctor-prescribed medicines. It would have been less of a hassle if only we could pick Citronella from our backyard garden and extract oil from it.

Though doctors are also important but that it is good to know herbal options for ailments that can be cured with home remedies. We are not trying to promote alterations to medicine but only as support for less critical sickness.

Thus we aim to promote herbal gardening, make it sustainable and reach out to more people by educating them about it. The herbs can be made available in the front yard if people learn to plant it. The people’s knowledge of natural remedies can help their families remain healthy and survive as they can just pick the cure from their yard whenever they need it.



We are therefore calling out to groups, organizations, the government and all the people who are willing to support us. We need to source out herbal plants and produce herbal products for demonstration purposes, and eventually for actual regular use by the community.

All the knowledge shared to volunteers would then be shared also to other interested parties.

We look forward a healthier community with herbal gardening.
