Other trees that have medicinal value

                                         Mango tree now abloom


Here are some more trees that I saw which are said to have medicinal value:

Avocado is rich in potassium which counteracts calcium in high blood pressure.  Avocado is the king of all the fruits, and is very expensive in USA.  Avocado contains phytonutrients that lower cholesterol. 

Mango is also one of the top fruits in food preparation.  A certain variety of mango from South Africa contains nutrients that help in weight loss.

Blackberries (duhat) bark are useful in lowering blood sugar.  The fruit can ease inflammation and pain from arthritis.

Noni is the second top herbal plant in the PHL;  no. 1 is mangosteen.  The Noni juice is helpful:   in promoting energy (including sexual vigor) curing heart disease.  It is one of God's greatest gift to mankind (and thus Filipinos too)  Its fruits can help cure injuries and boils.  Its leaves when placed over joints with coconut oil can ease joint pains.  My uncle swears by the Noni and has given away many trees, to help lessen disability from joint pains.
