Nature has given us an extraordinary substance that can give us a different kind of stimulation; a feeling that is pleasurable to the senses without producing edginess. The Pancil Association for Ecological Rehabilitation (PAFER ) produced guyabano and sambong powdered leaves as an alternative herbal medicine to treat illnesses. Guyabano has been known to fight cancer, diabetes, bacteria and has anti-inflammatory actions, on the other hand Sambong leaves are known for its Blumea camphor that is used as herbal medicine to treat kidney stones, wounds, rheumatism, anti-diarrhea, coughs and hypertension.
Drinking green powdered leaves throughout the day has a positive impact on virtually every system in the body, including the cardiovascular; circulatory; respiratory; nervous; lymphatic; immune; and musculoskeletal systems.
The processing of the herbal medicines is located in Brgy. Pacil, Malitbog So. Leyte in the Village Level Enhancement Processing Center.
One pack of powdered leaves costs P30. 140g/pack.
According to ARB’s most of their market is Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) which is concern on the health of the people living in the community.
