Kaalaman at Katibayan
Karunungang Sinaunang Panahon
"Ang halaman ay hindi lamang gamot — ito ay alaala ng ating mga ninuno."
For centuries, Filipino indigenous communities have passed down herbal knowledge through oral tradition — from the hilot and albularyo to grandmothers tending their backyard gardens. This wisdom, rooted in deep observation of nature, forms the foundation of Philippine traditional medicine.
Agham at Katibayan
The Philippine Department of Health (DOH) has validated 10 medicinal herbs through scientific research. The WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034 further recognizes herbal medicine's role in global healthcare.
