It’s always been our tradition that when a birthday is coming up in our close group of friends, we take turns treating each other. Mom Violy picks the restaurant, and we all tag along. Tito Boni prefers to use his credit card for dining discounts. Each of us has a role—Tita Edna handles the venue reservations, and Carmina coordinates with everyone to capture videos and photos during the celebration. Tita Edna called Seven Corners Restaurant to check if they have a buffet promotion for lunch on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. It has been confirmed booked for four adults noted it for someone's birthday. Mom Violy decided upon Seven Corners Restaurant remembering she used to eat there with her friend's long time ago. We were told that if you want to see the promotional offers for the coming month, you should check their Facebook page. Seven Corners restaurant offers a variety of international dishes where you can serve yourself or ask the server to bring food to your table if certain d...
Once in awhile we have someone coming to our home to do herbal treatment for my in-law or the employee.
The lady who came by the house asked, me if I believe in herbal medicine I said, it really depends on what it is. As I was watching her I couldn't believe my eyes she had used a leaves called, taboo taboo she had massage the employee's knee with mentholated oil on his sprain from playing basketball. He can't walk on one leg being injured.
The lady who we call her hilot which specialize in herbal medicine was massaging his knee and she had went to the kitchen and started heating up the leaves on the stove top
I was able to take a video of what she was doing.
The female employee was also feeling pain from her back and she also massaged her before placing the leaves on the area she was feeling pain.
The hilot claimed she had her back pain from sweating and being against an electric fan not changing clothes once she starts to get wet.
I asked, the hilot how long does she leave the leaf on her back she said, when the leaves dries up and it will cure the pain.
You are not allowed to take a shower that day when you are being treated.
I started interviewing her asking what other leaves can she tell me that can cure you the herbal way. She didn't want me to take a picture of herself or be in my blog.
But, she said, I can just ask her questions and give me a list of herbal leaves that she uses to cure other people.
I asked, where does she even buy the herbal leaves she said, in Quiapo, Philippines.
Herbal leaves used to cure the traditional old Filipino way:
- Taboo taboo Leaves - cure sprain and body pain
- Atis Leaves - headache, stomach ache and gas
- Tawa - tawa Leaves - measles, dengue, skin itchiness and asthma (boil and drink one cup)
- Kalabo Leaves (oregano) - menstruation cramps, urinary tract disorder, respiratory and gastrointestial
- Lagundi Leaves - sore throat, stop coughing, relieve asthma, discharge phlegm and lower fever
The hilot was explaining in the old generation people believe taking everything herbal rather than consulting their doctor for help. During the century ago people used herbal medication to cure them and spend less money on medicine. They had cure themselves the natural way.
How much do you pay?
It all depends on the person who hilot you all rates are different.
