This site is becoming more an Asi Tava site; more and more people go for Asi Tava leaves

Rizal   Philippines  December 28, 2013

 

This day is Ninos Innocentes Day, a day of deception, commemorating the escape of Infant miraculous escape from the wrath of Herod.  But this post is not a deception.


Anti hypertensive

More and more people in the neighborhood know what the Asi Tava is all about.  Sometimes, at night, they pick leaves from my Asi Tava garden and make tea, and celebrate the health benefits they get from the same. About 2 dozens no longer have to buy tatin and tan Pharma drugs;  all they do is to take Asi Tava tea (mixed with honey or sugar -  for some people the boiled leaves taste are disagreeable).   And they say this is strong;  one person with normal  BP complained of head ache after he took the tea (meaning he had hypotension).  So there you are hypertensives - you can do away with beta blockers or angiotensin renin blockers.

It is asthma season

A number of people are getting asthma attacks lately.  I just got from the drugstore because we had to buy bronchodilator spray.   But those who can not afford, and to whom I gave advise are regularly taking Asi Tava leaves, and they seldom have attacks and if they do, it is not severe.

How do you take Asi Tava?

Rizal  Philippines  |  December 18, 2013

The most frequently asked question is:   how do you take Asi Tava (for former basketball player, it is easier to remember with Asi Taulava.)  There are three ways:

1.  To chew 3 or 4 leaves in the morning before breakfast;

2.  To boil several leaves as a tea; 

3.  To slice the same and eat with salad and other vegies.

For some people, the taste is not so good.  You can always pour honey or sprinkle some salt and brown sugar to make the taste palatable.   But many swear that they get better taking this on the following conditions:     diabetes, asthma, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, PMS FOR WOMEN, and arthritis like symptoms. 

Do not take our word for it.   Just try.  It is not toxic, and it is free in many places.  (The pharmas will hate me for this)   It may kill the statin and the losartans. (Many of those who graze at my Asi Tava gardens do not patronize Mercury anymore)

Those who do not have money and nothing to lose but everything to gain, go go go for Asi Tava.

The beneficiaries are uprooting my Asi Tava plants? How come? They are killing the plants that cure?

Rizal, Philippines  December 16, 2013

Last week I was saddened by the uprooting of at least 3 mature Asi Tava plants.  Somebody they told me uprooted 2 plants when he was advised that the Asi Tava leaves is good, even for incurable, essential hypertension

So much testimony has been said about the Asi Tava by my inlaws on hypetension, by another in law on arthritis.  Last Saturday, I was told that the hypertension of a former ambassador has been cured by Asi Tava.  The wife of the JV partner was complaining of painful hips and over eating.  I advised him to take Asi Tava.  His wife said they have Asi Tava..  He even asked us to write the name of the plant. I told him, it is Asi Taulava since we both love basketball.

I hope he gets well

My Asi Tava garden could not keep up with demand of beneficiaries (this is free)

Angono, Rizal Philippines   |  December 7, 2013

My little Asi Tava garden could not keep up with the demand of 3 leaves  day demand of high blood pressure patients.  They must be saving large sums of money from my garden, if there are five or more of them (we are 3 all ready in the family, very soon, my garden would run out of leaves) So I have to plant more...

 Plenty of shoots for new leaves;  all new leaves

 New plants propagation

The lemon grass is also being harvested

Okra could not cope up with my own demand

My tiny Asi tava garden could not cope up with the demand

Rizal, Philippines  |  December 3, 2013

When my neighbors (after my inlaws) discovered what Asi tava was for (anti high blood, diabetes, arthritis)  they began to pluck the leaves of the plants daily.  Now they are struggling to produce the leaves.  I hope they do not over harvest this asi tava little garden. It is for the good of everyone

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."

Many articles on asi tava

Here are a number of articles on Ashi Taba plant (the Japanese version)

I can attest to the fact that when I posted the pictures of the asi tava I referred to a blog post from somebody in Malaysia who called the same "leaves of God"  Now the posts list this as Ashi Taba and says its origin is from Japan.

Ashi Taba can be good vs Asthma.  Ashi Taba good vs asthma

Asthma can be good vs asthma sufferers without the serious side effect present in steroids and sympathomimetic drugs (deleterious to the cardio vascular system)

Because of its anti oxidant properties, ashi taba reduces/removes mucus that blocks airways in asthma attacks. It has Nerve Growth Factors that mediate inflammation and containts  chalcones to boost the immune system.

Asi Tava doing wonders for my in laws - good vs hypertension, aging, cancer, hypertension, menstrual cramps

Angono, Rizal  PHL  |  November 16, 2013

As I was entering the gate of our house, my brother in law shared with me a story.  He said that before he buys an anti hypertensive drug Tarka/Tarka Forte (trandrolapril)  which sets him back by P40.00 per day (That is P1, 200 per month.)This is indicated in treatment of essential hypertension.

  Now he says, he does not spend that much anymore;  he simply picks three leaves of Asi Tava at the planting strip in front of my house.  My other in law took some branches and planted some Asi Tava in his yard.  Whenever they have to take their Asi Tava, they say they will go Mercury and that means they will forage my Asi Tava plantation.

For high blood the RX is 3 leaves;  for diabetes, it is 4 leaves.  I do not know about arthritis

My other in law who has arthritis was urged to chew Asi Tava leaves too.  Now his arthritis is gone.

Who says that herbs do not have therapeutic value?  What is this?

From Web Md - Ashitaba vs high blood pressure, cholesterol, and gout, cancer

How to use Ashitaba: boil, add to salad or chew

Ashitaba useful for menstrual cramps, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer  (ladies Ginseng)

Treatment for Cancer and Aging

Ashitaba is abundant in chlorophyll, which may reduce the risk of cancer. The antioxidant properties in the plant make it beneficial for fighting free radicals (damaging molecules that promote aging, destroy tissues and promote disease in the body). Due to the plant's rich content of chlorophyll, B12 and antioxidants, it is recognized as a favorable herb for fighting disease and encouraging overall health. The youthful appearance of the Hachijo islanders is attributed to the consumption of the herb, which appeals to an array of individuals who may not otherwise have an interest in herbs and alternative remedies.

Menstruation and Hormonal Issues

Other herbal uses of the Ashitaba plant encompass symptoms related to menopause and menstruation. Many herbal practitioners believe that the active compounds in the herb strengthens the reproductive organs and assist with endometriosis. In addition, women with PMS, hot flashes and headaches may find relief with herbal supplements containing Ashitaba."

My brother in law just learned the value of Asi Tava

Two days ago I saw my brother in law with 3 leaves of Asi Tava.  He is suffering from hypertension and is on medication.  He often complains of pain at his neck/nape.   Then he said he learned that it is good for hypertension and all you have to do is chew 3 leaves a day.  Somebody heard it and got 3 leaves from my start up plantation of Asi Tava in front of our house.

I hope the plants are not uprooted by passers by.

Healing plants in front of my lot

Angono, Rizal  |  Philippines   |  November 2, 2013

                                     Asi tava plants are now multiplying fast

There are several plants in front of my lot that are starting to bloom and grow.  I hope they do not get stolen or uprooted by the passersby. I hope it can do good to many.  All you need for Asi Tava to reduce your high blood BP is 3 leaves.

Okra is good for:   high blood, for diabetes, and is an aphrodisiac

Taheeboo is good for high blood pressure.

Citronella repels mosquito that cause dengue (and even malaria)  Why continue buying katol or lathering with DEET preparation.  Citronella is related to lemon grass
