Tawa tawa plants (Euphorbia hirta) helps treat dengue fever. In English they called it Snake Weed & Cat Hair. Dengue is one of the deadly virus specially in tropical region. The Department of Health in the Philippines still studying its effectiveness but locally used it. I saw in TV news some are being cured by cut off the roots then wash and clean the five whole tawa tawa plants. Boil in the pot of clean water. Pour the liquid and then let cool. Sip one glass three to four times a day. Tawa tawa produce more platelets that replace the infected platelets thats why others survived the dengue fever. But still thousands are being infected these dengue mosquitoes. But it is important to consult the doctor when you have symptoms of this deadly virus.
In Leyte, call it Gatas gatas.
