Hello aseanhivers! It's me Krissy with another trivia in the blog. This blog will join the weekly contest #168 tropical toasts that tackles about amazing drinks. I know it was referring to juicy fruits, blended mixtures or other sweets but my entry is very far different. This is a kind of drinks that is always on our table because this will serve as our herbal water therapy. I think everyone is familiar with oregano.
Oregano is known to be a herbal medicine for cough. That is why I always had oregano in a glass of water on our kitchen table. I don't have oregano plant but our neighbor had. I always ask for it once a week. So I grabbed one long stem and this is enough for a week. I just placed it in a glass of water to keep it fresh in the entire week. This is also good for varicose veins. Just get some leaves and ore heat it then put to areas on the skin with varicose veins and this will help soothe the veins to have a regular blood flow.
The other one is pancit-pancitan. This is used to treat urinary tract infection, kidney problems, gout and will lower the uric acid. I have kidney problems that's why I always have this in my water therapy. My daughter also has kidney problems and that's the reason why I include it in our water therapy so all of us in the family can drink and prevent further illnesses.
To make this drinks, I just grabbed a pitcher, clean it well and put generous amount of water. Then I will wash the oregano and pancit-pancitan thoroughly to remove the soil or sand on it as well as the leaves cleaning it every leaf then put it in the pitcher of water. This will be soak throughout the day or shall we say 48 hours. But after 2 hours of soaking then it's ready to drink.
This is not only the water we drink the entire time but we used this water when taking vitamins, after eating and also I use this as water for my babies milk. We also drink natural water but the proportion is 1:10. One glass of the herbal water and 10 glasses of natural water.
So that's my entry for this week's challenge. It's not sweet or bitter but just like tap water but it helps in our body. It cleanses our kidney. And the proof that I can say is that I can now eat pancit cantoon once a week and there's no pain at all. Unlike the past months and years that I won't eat pancit Canton because right after it maybe I can't urinate or there's blood in my urine. I'm thankful that I have these plants in the backyard. How about you guys do you use these herbal plants at home?
