Pitik-pitik – RUELLIA TUBEROSA LINN. decoction of the root with pansit-pansitan (Peperomia pellucida Linn), fresh leaves of serpentina – (Andrographis paniculata)& grated fresh turmeric (Curcuma longa)rhizome as tea infusion cured a young girl suffering from inflammation of the cervic with pain diagnosed as STD
In 2010, a middle aged peasant woman approached Silsilah Holistic Health Care to help her daughter, a fresh graduate and working at a hotel as a new staff, who was experiencing a psychological trauma due to shame of getting sick of a medical diagnosis on a disease similar to (STD) Sexually Transmitted Diseases that made her suffer from an inflammation of the cervix with pain.
The young lady almost committed suicide due to confusion and shame but was saved by a close friend in a boarding house.
Holistic Center Staff requested the mother to bring her daughter to the Center for Holistic Health Care advice.
Immediately the young lady responded. She was given proper information to understand the diagnosed disease that seemed to be similar to STD.
From her life-style story, it was discovered that she was not eating proper food and most of the time instant noodles and processed food from the hotel with soft drinks and poor intake of good water.
This made her constipated and could not defecate for one week or more. She was suffering from severe bowel movement problem making her reproductive organ dirty as well causing inflammation of the cervix with pain.
It was explained that the reason for her disease is dirty food intake, not because of an-out-right medical diagnosis of having dirty sexuality.
She was advised to drink as “agua tiempo” a tea decoction of pitik-pitik root with pansit-pansitan introduced by an elderly Subanon, Manang Sabel, who is very knowledgeable on subanon healing plants. An intake of extracted turmeric juice and infusion of fresh serpentina leaf was also introduced to be consumed after every meal.
Also, she was advised to leave her work for a while for a good rest so she may focus on her healing at their home in a farm with good healthy plant-based diet from consumption of more fresh native vegetables abundantly available like the tree-spinach known as “likway”.
She devotedly followed the advice and even planted pitik-pitik and pansit-panstan to easily make the healing plants available at their backyard.
After a week, she was experiencing good bowel movement and completely recovered from a cervical inflammation without pain after a month of focus healing therapy at their home in a farm.
In three months, she fully recovered and gained enough energy to go back to work with good understanding on how to maintain a healthy life-style with a healthy diet.
