The increase in dengue cases is already very alarming. According to the Department of Health dengue cases rose by 88.8% to 62,503 in the first eight months for this year from 33,102 in the same period last year. Western Visayas has the biggest number of dengue cases recorded with 10,054 cases. There are already 465 persons who died from dengue this year, compared to 350 deaths in 2009. | |||
Dengue has been a perennial problem in the Philippines every time the rainy days arrive. Dengue or hemorrhagic fever is transmitted to humans through the mosquito Aeges aegypti which thrives in stagnant water. There’s no cure for dengue, you can only treat the symptoms. | |||
In the absence of a clinically recognized cure for dengue, a lot of Filipinos have discovered the effectiveness of Tawa-Tawa plant (Euphorbia hirta) in increasing platelet counts in dengue patients. Although there’s no study yet to prove its efficacy, more and more dengue patients who survived the deadly disease by taking Tawa-Tawa tea can testify to its efficacy | |||
Finding Tawa-Tawa is not hard since it grows almost anywhere in the Philippines. Dr. Willie T. Ong recommends the following steps on how to prepare the Tawa-Tawa tea: | |||
:1. Take 5 whole Tawa Tawa plants; | |||
:2. Cut off the roots, then wash and clean; | |||
:3. Boil Tawa Tawa in a pot of clean water; | |||
:4. Pour the liquid and then let cool; | |||
:5. Sip 1 glass 3 to 4 times a day. | |||
Still, prevention is better than cure so clean your surroundings and get rid of containers where the Aeges egypti mosquito may thrive. Also use mosquito repellant lotion to help keep you protected. | |||
