Best Answer

In the ancient times before modern medicine was created, the Filipino ancestors used a lot of herbal plants to cure sickness and diseases. These practices which are really helpful is carried on to today's generation most espicially for the indigent people who cannot aford the high cost of modern medicines. Medical practitioners even recommend some herbs that are a lot helpful for minor sickness. Let's take for example cough. There is now a medicine for cough which is made naturally from herb. If you are aware of this "Lagundi" herbs for cough relief, well, glad to say that medical researchers made it in a tablet, capsule and syrup form named Ascof (Lagundi) for cough. It is naturally made and free from strong chemicals that only gives your body side effects.
