Garlic is a low herb with flat and linear leaves growing to about 30 to 60 cm tall. Garlic is commercially grown in the Philippines especially in the provinces of Batangas, Cotabato, Ilocos Norte, Mindoro and Nueva Ecija. Leaves, bulbs, lobes are used for medical purposes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bawang or garlic, is a specie in the onion family Alliaceae. Bawang is a close relative of onion (sibuyas), the shallot, the leek and the chive. Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garlic (Bawang) is a low herb, growing to up to 2 feet high. Bawang is widely popular for its bulbs. Bawang bulbs are broadly ovoid, 2 to 4 cm in diameter, consisting of several cloves. Bawang leaves are linear and flat. Umbels are globose, many flowered. Sepas are oblong, greenish white, slightly tinged with purple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bawang has a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking. Bawang cloves are used as seed, for consumption (raw or cooked), and for medicinal purposes. The leaves, stems (scape) and flowers (bulbils) on the head (spathe) are also edible and most often consumed while immature and still tender. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Medical uses of bawang herbal medicine &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8enkiQ765gE/TxaJIZALjfI/AAAAAAAABIw/pBIDbT2fjgU/s1600/garlic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8enkiQ765gE/TxaJIZALjfI/AAAAAAAABIw/pBIDbT2fjgU/s320/garlic.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antiinfectious: Antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic.&lt;/b&gt; Bawang juice is applied to the afflicted area. Scientifically ajoene 0.4% cream when applied topically, has been found 70% effective in certain dermatologic fungal infections. A 0.6% gel was effective in tinea corporis and tinea cruris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antiinflammatory and antioxidant&lt;/b&gt; activity when included in diet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hypertension:&lt;/b&gt; Bawang when eaten or chewed raw. Studies suggest ingestion of Bawang has beneficial antihypertensive effect but blood-lowering effects probably not dramatic. Other studies show a vascular benefit through improvement of aortic elasticity and possible slowing of the rate of atherosclerosis progression&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hyperlipidemia:&lt;/b&gt; Bawang eaten or chewed raw is found to lower blood cholesterol. Though still controversial, but probably has beneficial effect on serum cholesterol and LDL levels. Some studies have shown a 4% to 12% lowering of total cholesterol. Bawang seems to have no effect on high density lipoprotein (HDL).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anti-cancer:&lt;/b&gt; Bawang is studied to have possible anticarcinogenic properties, specifically for colon, stomach and prostate cancers. In stomach cancers, probably through its inhibitory effect on H. pylori. In epidemiologic studies on stomach and colorectal cancer prevention, the garlic use was 3.5 grams to 30 grams of fresh or cooked garlic per week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other folkloric uses of Bawang as herbal medicine that needs further studies for verification:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arthritis, rheumatism, toothaches:&lt;/b&gt; Crush several Bawang cloves and rub on affected areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Headaches:&lt;/b&gt; Crush one Bawang clove and apply to both temples as poultice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Insect bites:&lt;/b&gt; Crush Bawang or cut clove crosswise and rub directly to affected area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Athlete's foot.&lt;/b&gt;Crush Bawang or cut clove crosswise and rub directly to affected area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fever,&lt;/b&gt; Decoction of boiled Bawang leaves and bulbs set to luke warm and applied to the head and body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Colds, cough, sore throat, hoarseness, asthma and bronchitis;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Nasal congestion&lt;/b&gt; steam inhalation of chopped Bawang and a teaspoon of vinegar in boiling water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fresh Bawang has been used as a complement herbal medicine to INH therapy for tuberculosis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Digestive problems and gastrointestinal spasms.&lt;/b&gt; Drink an infusion of a peeled bawang clove or can also be used as suppository.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3461311299666414364-28572510325219589?l=herbalmedicineph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://herbalmedicineph.blogspot.com/feeds/28572510325219589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://herbalmedicineph.blogspot.com/2012/01/garlic-bawang-scientific-name-allium.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3461311299666414364/posts/default/28572510325219589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3461311299666414364/posts/default/28572510325219589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://herbalmedicineph.blogspot.com/2012/01/garlic-bawang-scientific-name-allium.html' title='Garlic (Bawang) - Scientific name: Allium sativum'/><author><name>Ruel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hm6Marjo3-k/R7Fu7Q1nBmI/AAAAAAAAABU/7BEiMI5OlQY/S220/tn_Ruel.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Eyl4Z72yYbg/TxaJSGPsDqI/AAAAAAAABI4/1jPNamRWrcA/s72-c/bawang.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461311299666414364.post-4623106615760511591</id><published>2012-01-18T00:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T00:42:11.992-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cassia alata'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Akapulko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ringworm bush'/><title type='text'>Akapulko – Scientific name: Cassia alata</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Akapulko&lt;/b&gt; or Ringworm bush in English or shrub grows throughout the Philippines.

Oregano is known as wild marjoram with a more pungent flavor and aroma. It belongs to the same family than mint and thyme.&amp;nbsp; It has been used as a culinary herb since the times of the ancient Egyptians and featured prominently in ancient Greek and Roman cultures.&amp;nbsp; Symbolizing happiness, it was often worn at weddings by the bride and groom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also used in cooking, Oregano adds a pungent peppery flavor to fish, meat, and poultry dishes and harmonizes beautifully with eggplant, tomatoes, pizza or pasta.&amp;nbsp; Mexican chili and chili powders count on oregano as an essential ingredient. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oregano is the joy of the mountain, or so its name says in Greek. It grows well in Mediterranean countries, Asia, North and Central America.&amp;nbsp; It can be found in cooler regions of North America or European countries, such as south England, where it grows with a milder quality.&amp;nbsp; Oregano requires warm, dry conditions and well-drained soil.&amp;nbsp; It spreads by seed in spring, by cuttings or by root in autumn. Harvest bunches of flowers and leaves in the summer, dry under the sun around four days.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oregano is usually thought of as a culinary herb, but its medicinal properties have been understood and used for thousands of years.&amp;nbsp; However, beware: The related herbs thyme and marjoram sold in most North American supermarkets are often mislabeled as oregano and do not possess wild oregano's miraculous healing properties. Oregano is a health aid that is very diverse. Unfortunately, most of the oregano that consumers are familiar with contain little or none of the actual species of the plant. Researchers have found numerous benefits to using oregano. However, the benefits are not attainable if the oregano is not the true substance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oregano oil contains isomeric phenols. This substance, even diluted as low as 1/50,000 destroys many unwanted toxins. Some of these toxins include candida albicans, the Aspergillus mold, Staphylococcus, campylobacter, Klebsiella, e.&amp;nbsp; coli, giardia, Pseudomonas, and proteus. Thymol, a phenol constituent, also boost the immune system. These compound shields against toxins and prevent more tissue damage while it encourages healing.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oregano is also one of nature's finest preservatives. If oregano is used with meats, eggs, milk, or salad, it will stop the growth of microbes that will reduce the risk of getting food poisoning. Oregano oil is a significant helper in treating internal and external fungi, including athlete's foot.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It will also help with skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oil of oregano destroys all variety of fungi and yeasts regardless of where it is at.&amp;nbsp; Besides the fungi and yeasts, oil or oregano inhibits the growth of bacterial and parasites. It inhibits the growth of most bacteria ad has been successful at neutralizing worms, amoebas, and protozoans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oregano also carries a dense amount of minerals. These minerals include calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, boron, and manganese.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are also vitamins in Oregano that include Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and niacin.
