4. Essential Oils

Speaking of oils, keeping a set of small vials of essential oils can give you instant all-around relief and even lift your spirits. Tea tree oil, for example, has long been used as a key ingredient in antiseptic and antifungal bath and body products, as well as anti-acne gels. Other oils like peppermint, lavender and citronella have been staples in aromatherapy as a mood stimulant, sleep-inducer and an insect repellant, respectively.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar

Does the bottle above look familiar? If it does, that’s probably because you’re seeing more of your friends posting it on their social media accounts. Taking a swig of Apple Cider Vinegar in the morning is another whole-health magical potion that can help you lose weight, boosts your energy, and gets rid of bad breath. You can use it in the shower for your hair too, to get rid of dandruff and make your hair look extra groovy.

2. Lagundi

Forget the cough syrups that make you drowsy, lagundi is readily available in drug stores now to help you beat that cough. If it gives you any extra assurance, it’s among the Philippine herbal medicines approved by the DOH.

1. Malunggay

What was once known as the lowly malunggay is in demand all around the world as “the miracle tree” because of its status as the top herb in cancer research, malnutrition in kids and nursing mothers and richness in vitamins A, B and C, calcium, iron and protein.
