Gynura Procumbens (the Asi Tava?)

The other type of Asi Tava:





Asi Tava at Sulit

Will the real Asi Tava stand up?

There seems to be a confusion on which is the real Asi Tava or Ashi Taba.

Asi Tava   -  Gynura procumbens.  This seems to be most abundant in the PHL and those that are being sold in Greenhills.

Ashi Taba -  Angelica keiski Koidzumi the leaves of tomorrow.

For most social media, the two are mistaken for one another.

Some even say that what we take as 4 leaves a day are actually Moroccan spinach.  (It becomes more confusing)

But we based our initial post on this article:  KB Journal

"He gave me cuttings of Asitava (plant of the gods) and it is now growing in our front yard. Asitava, uncle said, is good for hypertension and heart problems. Uncle has a massage therapist who regularly do reflexes on his muscles. Che, the masseur, scheduled me for a session. She came to my place one Friday for my whole body massage while my Tita brought with her a set of Pito-Pito (7 of 7 herbal elements). She said she had all that I need and I don’t have to buy in Quiapo except for Sapang which she doesn’t have. She got all those leaves from a neighbors’ garden and elsewhere. It’s everywhere!, she quipped."
