We have captured nature’s healing wonders through science. Sambong is the only scientifically studied anti-urolithiasis and diuretic herbal preparation in the Philippines today. The National Integrated Research Program on Medicinal Plants (NIRPROMP) has validated the ancient yet popular knowledge and practices of our traditional healers. They have established in both animal and human studies, the wide margin of safety and efficacy of Sambong as an anti-urolithiasis and diuretic medicine.
Sambong is a tall erect, half-woody herb growing up to 3 meters high. The leaf is green with a hairy underside and can have a diameter of 100 mm. Its stem is also densely hairy. It is abundant in all regions of the Philippines and grow in shady areas. Our herbs are nurtured organically in prime farms untainted by synthetic chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
