evERyONe Smiles to the wOnDers of Tawa tAWa

A mother can’t just sit and look at her child suffer from illness.  She will find cure for them in any way she can.  Funny yet true but mothers find alternatives around the corners of the garden, along streets and anywhere only to find the best medicine to cure.

Few months ago almost all of the regions in the country were alarmed about Dengue and Cotabato City is not exempted.  Again the scenario of this incident came back to my mind when rain starts to fall regularly and the vivid pictures came to my mind that mothers flocked at the back of our home to look for a cure.

You may find it funny but this generation still believes in alternative medicines.  One good example of this is herbal medicines.  Many herbal plants are everywhere and some even grew it at home.

Though it has not scientifically proven yet, this special weed that grows anywhere has become a solution to those who suffered from Dengue a disease caused by a virus carried via mosquito bites . . . .  the TAWA TAWA or GATAS GATAS with the scientific name  Euphorbia Hirta.

Tawa tawa is washed thoroughly with clean water to remove the dirt from its leaves down to its roots.  Boil a small quantity just enough for a reasonable amount of water.  It should not be too concentrated to avoid negative effects on the patient.

Just recently, rain constantly visits Cotabato and I had a feeling that sharing this will help us all be aware the even if no scientific studies yet about this weed I am sure many mothers out there would agree that there is cure with TAWA TAWA for Dengue.

Moreover , it is also used for sore eyes.  It is crushed and the juice will be dropped to the infected yes.  My neighbor shared this testimony to me in a short chit chat. I hope that the agency who takes charge of doing studies with medicinal plant will soon find the truth behind Tawa tawa’s capability to cure.
