Old folks had long used “Kakawate” leaves in brooding hens’ nests to drive away mites and lice.
Farmers also used the green leaves as ripening stimulants for bananas instead of the “kalburo.”
They had been proven effective!
We have many more natural remedies already known to old folks.
Betel Nuts, Ripe Papaya seeds and Ipil-Ipil seeds had long been used as animal dewormers.
The researches and tests in the laboratories today are just a validation of what had long been proven to be effective by people who barely knew how to read or write.
Congratulations, DOST!
