Sambong
juice
One
of my favorite juices of all time is Sambong juice. It is made up of sambong
leaves only, no sweeteners like sugar or honey for me, boiled up in less than 5
minutes or less then viola!

Ready
to drink.
I
was having a hard time with my UTi every year. I was scared really that it
might leads into complications to my kidney. Aside from the antibiotic intake,
sinasabayan ko ng pag inom nito. Plus the yearly check up of my urine to check
if it is within the normal range. Nakakatakot kaya.
My
previous house helper planted this miraculous plant outside our house and now
parang gubat na sya sa lago. Twice a week I asked my helper to prepare me this.
Parang naging routine ko na ring uminom nito. Though the taste is not that
good, I just think na lang that it is good for my health.
And
thank goodness, after two years of drinking this religiously, last November
our annual physical check up shows good results! No UTi! Yahoooo!
So
I make a pact to myself that even though I don’t have my “alaga” anymore, I
will still continuously drink sambong juice twice a week just to make sure and
for a healthier living na din.
Dami
kayang benefits ng sambong, here basahin nyo…
================================================================
Sambong helps manage
hypertension
Because of its diuretic property, sambong facilitates
elimination of excess fluids and salt through the urine. It helps keep fluid
and electrolyte balance to maintain normal blood pressure.
Sambong keeps the kidneys
healthy
Studies have shown that sambong helps delay renal failure
for those who are at risk. One way is by dissolving kidney stones through its
flavonoid components. Kidney stones (urolithiases) are known risk factors for
kidney failure.
Sambong fights cancer
Experiments have shown the ability of sambong to fight
cancer cells, particularly in liver carcinoma and leukemia. Further studies are
being conducted to consider the added benefits of including sambong in cancer
treatments.
Sambong fights fungi and
microbes
About 50 active components of sambong have been
identified and they represent more than 99% of its total oil content. These
components have antifungal and antimicrobial properties. They also have
analgesic properties and help control fever.
Sambong relieves stomach
ailments
Taken as tea, the leaves of sambong help control diarrhea
and relieve stomach pains. Traditionally, sambong leaves are ground to a paste
and applied to the stomach. The relief appear to be comparable.
Sambong is now registered and approved by the Food and
Drug Administration as a medicine.

O

Opkors,
I also drink buko juice once in a while pag naka duty si manong sa kanto namin.
Mas masarap talaga si buko pero kulang sakin ang isang fresh buko that cost us
Php 20 na. And that will be my next post along with my detox juice din.
Gotta
go! Kulugo…
