After doing errands with the family my dad wanted to eat Vietnamese food in the area of Fremont . My dad brought us to Pho Lan Noodles House for our lunch. We all decided to eat one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes. We had ordered some appetizers fried wanton and fried chicken with fish sauce . My dad had ordered Lemongrass chicken include with rice and salad in his meal but was already full when he had eaten his wife's meal. She had ordered the Chicken Banh Mi and chicken clear soup. I wanted to try their Pork Banh Mi sandwich and requested no jalapeno pepper on it. The sandwich is quite big had to slice it in the middle and the remaining was for takeout. The filling of the pork was a lot of serving soft and tender had a lot of flavoring. The bread was also soft even if it was toasted. Family members had ordered the Garlic Chow Mein with Shrimp .

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.
