A few days ago, my good friend 85-year-old Aling Eming came to visit me in my office. She is a special friend to me because her herbal eyedrop product known as Panlapu aborted the symptoms of my cataract and glaucoma. And more, Panlapu reduced the grade of my eyes. My eye doctor for the past 15 years could not believe it. My dizziness stopped only when my eye doctor and his optometrist finally agreed to reduce the grade of my prescription glasses.

I told my eye doctor that I have been using regularly Panlapu, a herbal eyedrops for more than two years now. In 2003, I used Panlapu once in a while only when my eyes are itchy. Until Aling Eming, a chemist convinced me to take Panlapu regularly 2 to 3 times a day.

I have been spreading to my friends the miracle healing power of Panlapu, the herbal eyedrop using extract from the mayana plant. “How did you discover the healing power of the mayana plant?” I asked Aling Eming. Here’s Aling Eming’s story: “At age nine years old, I came to know about mayana. You see my family is from Iloilo. Our house is at the back of Mt. Baloy. My late father who happens to be a veterinarian used to tell me stories about the healing power of mayana. He used it to heal the sore eyes and other eye problems of our carabaos. Also for healing wounds, for cataract, for weak lungs, colds/allergies and other body ailments as well. I have always been interested in herbal plants/medicine probably because of the strong influence of my father. While I stayed in the house caring for our son, I continued my research especially on the herbal potentials of the mayana plant which is known in Panay Island as lapunaya. Especially during the years 1986 to 1990. It was in 1995 that I finally came out with my herbal eyedrops from mayana which is known as Panlapu Herbal Eyedrop. We tested the herbal eyedrops first with our dog which had cataract. On the third day after we administered the eyedrop, the cataract was gone.” (Cataract is an eye problem because the eye’s lens gets clouded causing vision problems. Often times related to aging.) Mayana plant is like our malunggay plant but the leaves are thicker and has a reddish-violet color (granate in the dialect). Sometimes called mayana patak dugo.”

This is my testimony about Panlapu. Also, I have friends who are afflicted with diabetic retinopathy and going blind. After using Panlapu – lo and behold… their deteriorating eyesight have improved miraculously.

It's unbelievable but about four billion people, which is 80 percent of the world population are using herbal for therapeutic or medicinal value. While many of us would prefer to take the traditional/conventional medicine to herbal medicine – the fact remains that herbal medicine is the oldest form of health care preparation that has been used extensively for centuries to treat practically every ailment. Today, there are herbs that are being used in modern medicine as extracts to manufacture drugs. An example is the medicine digitalis (to treat heart ailments) which comes from the so-called foxglove plant.

Unknown to many of us, our country abounds with herb plants that contain powerful ingredients that can heal the human body. One such herb plants with amazing healing power is the mayana plant. God’s gift to mankind!

Have a joyful day!
