For Cancer, especially for Women:
PERIWINKLE (Catharanthus Roseus)
This plant is commonly known as Madagascar Rosy Periwinkle. It grows everywhere with white, pink, fuchsia pink, indigo, white with pink at the base of the petals, crimson red. Choose the one with pink flowers because this is the one I used and I proved it 101% have helped me when I was diagnosed with a lump in my ovary.
I was raised into using herbs instead of drugs since I was small. I learned about the important and uses of each plant that can be commonly found in our surroundings. For colds, cough, stomachache, body ache, and a lot more.
I was diagnosed of having a 7.9 mass in my ovary and after that Ultra sound, my OB Gyne advised me to have that ovary removed. I had Ooperectomy few years back and now my left Ovary has a mass. I can't do otherwise but have it removed other than gave me serious problem later.

Aside from financial problem I was facing that time, I was reluctant to have that surgery again. I have to have PhP 75,000 for the surgery and the Hospital. I don't know where to get that big sum. So I told my doctor I have to find money first then I can come back for the surgery.

That time, talking about Myoma cancer or lumps..whatsoever is a big think for me...I didn't know there are herbs for that until one day, I met an old woman, considered medium in our place and she told me about "Periwinkle" or in our place it is commonly known as "PANDANGGERA" pronounced as PAN-DANG-GEE-RAH.
I took it as this old lady's instruction.
1. Uproot the whole pink periwinkle plant, wash it thoroughly especially the roots, wish the soil out.
2. Cut it into 3inches long, crumble it or lightly crush it with your hands and put it in a medium sized pot.
3. Add 5 cups of water and boil.
4. Once it is boiling, lower the heat to medium and simmer till you get 1 cup of water left.
5. Drink the concoction. I was advised to drink it by the time I wake up in the morning and before I sleep at night.

When I started drinking it, I perspire a lot, I lose weight...(lose 5 lbs in a week), I get thirsty every time, I felt light and I felt active, I didn't feel stress and I don't get angry easily. My mood changed and I felt so active I feel that I have that energy back. And my stomach which is big..my waistline reduced to 3 inches smaller. I lose weight and I was happy that I can wear size 4....imagine from size 6 to size 4 in just few weeks. And yeah, not to forget that I shed hair a bit.

However, I was working that time and it was so inconvenient for me to boil or gather the plant. I almost have used all my plants in the garden.

Everybody noticed me, I slimmed down. So I kept telling people about Periwinkle. Barely I knew that everybody is aware of the medicinal value of this plant. I think I was so busy with my daily routine that I missed this fact. From these people I come to know that there is a Capsulized product of Periwinkle. A Church in our place sells it. It was 25 capsules/pack and it's 2x a day dose. Because I want the effect fast, I took 3 capsules a day, 1 capsule after each meal...breakfast..lunch..dinner...I took it with warm water. I did it for almost a month. I felt the medicinal effect in my body, however I thought of having my ovary removed to be sure I'm safe.

Having found the money enough for my surgery, I went back to my OB Gyne after a month. My doctor told me that I have to undergo Ultra sound again to check whether it has grown big. And to my surprise, and to everybody present in that clinic, I was speechless when my doctor told me, "where did the lump go? What did you do? Have you taken something? It's almost gone now. It had shrunk to 2.7 and there is no need for me to do surgery because it will just go when you menopause." And my Doc jokingly said, "now I zcan't have your money"....hahaha...I loaned that money and I was so happy about it.

I told the Doctor about the Periwinkle and we tell other women as well, those who are having myomeres, carcinoma, all cancer patients...

I have a friend who has a mayo a and can't have a baby. She was hopeless but when she know about the benefit of this plant, she tried and surely, her myoma gone and was spared of surgery as well.

However tried by many and proved to be beneficial, read articles about this plant first before considering taking it. It might have worked for me and others but it might not suit you..

This winter season, we often have dry skin, dry hair, dry and cracked lips....now, my remedy for dry lips and skin...

To have that soft, pinky wet looking lips:

1. In a saucer, mix a handful of brown sugar...I say BROWN SUGAR, honey, a drop of lemon

2. Run hot water (not boiling) to a towel and squeeze extra water, making your hands and fingers warm.

3. With warm fingers, gently rub your lips with the mixture, scrubbing gently the dead skin of your lips, continue several times with your warm fingers.

4. Let it stay for few minutes.

5. Using the excess mixture, gently scrub your face in a circular motion, especially your nose and the base spreading on your cheeks. Do it until you used all the mixture.

6. Let it stay for 15 minutes...then rinse with warm water...followed by normal temperatures water. Pat dry.

7. Don't apply any lotion..let your skin breathe naturally.

Another known plant for sprains:

PURGING NUT TREE, Jathropha Curcas Linn

Known also as Bubble nut tree or Wild Castor, the scraped green bark of this tree is good for sprain.

I remember when I was small, I used to run, ride bicycles and every time I sprain my ankle, my knee, my arm. My aunt who adopted me take a branch of this tree and take out the thin brown layer exposing the fresh green bark. With a knife, gently scrape finely the green bark. Now, cut a portion of a banana leaf, enough to hold a handful of the scraped bark and enough width to close and tie with a string. Run the banana leaf on top of a candle or stove to soften the leaf. Put the scraped bark on the banana leaf. Sprinkle SEA salt on it and close the leaf with the scraped bark inside. Tie it with a string or pliable wire so that it won't open up.
Then, warm it. You may use a pan, or have it sit directly on live charcoal. However, putting it directly on live charcoal will burn the banana leaf. I usually double the banana leaf to protect the bark from burning. S
Sit it on live charcoal for few minutes till the bark inside gets warm and have moisture. When it done, remove from live charcoal and slowly open it. You will see that it's moist and hot. Be careful but be fast. Prepare a handkerchief or a bandana to wrap. Now, take the warm scraped bark and immediately apply it on the affected area. If the affected area is your wrist, then spread it on your wrist and hold it secretly with a bandana or a Handkerchief. Tie it but not so tight for the blood to circulate. Let it stay overnight. Don't wet the affected area right after you removed the poultice. Apply Chamomile oil to the affected area to close the pores of the skin.
