as Cure for Dengue
June 2, 2016 Business Ideas 6 Comments

Tawa-tawa tea is said to be an

effective cure for dengue. To find the truth behind tawa-tawas curative
properties, students of the University of Sto Tomas (UST)
Faculty of Pharmacy conducted a study entitled Investigation of the antithrombocytopenic property of euphorbia hirta linn (Tawa-Tawa) decoction in rat
models.
Results showed that laboratory mice treated with the decoction of tawa-tawa had
an increase in platelet count, reduced bleeding time and decreased blood clotting
time. Based on the results, researchers concluded that administering tawa-tawa
decoction to animal models help improve their healing mechanism.
Euphorbia hirta or popularly known in the Philippines as Tawa-tawa or gatasgatas, is a hairy herb that just resides in the backyard, roadsides and pathways.
This common weed tawa-tawa is claimed to have healing properties
on dengue patients as being backed up by personal testimonies, it became one of
the most popular folkloric medicine for dengue in the Philippines.
As a folkloric treatment in the Philippines for dengue, tawa-tawa has earned many
anecdotal testimonies from those who purportedly became well from the plants
concoction: its leaves boiled like a tea and taken orally.
Tawa-tawa Tea
In preparing tawa-tawa tea, 100 grams of the fresh whole plant (including roots) are
washed and boiled in half a liter (500 ml) of water for 15 minutes. After cooling and
paper-filtration, the decoction is taken by the patient at one glass every hour until
the fever subsides.
