Ashitaba, The Real Thing

In the middle of 2013, I first heard the word ASHITABA when Marvin told me that he was busy with his Ashitaba plants as some foreign dignitaries will be visiting his Ashitaba plantation.
My curiosity started when his farm is being frequented by visitors coming from imperial Manila as far as Japan and Israel, that’s when I sat down to google ashitaba. I was surprise that the price of an ashitaba seedling being sold online range from Php1,500-3,500 in the country. I don’t know then what is really an ashitaba until I went at Vigan, Ilocos Sur and brought home a seedling worth Php100.00. I began to suspect that I bought a different thing because of it price, so I began to do my research about that magical plant.

Gynura procumbens


Gynura Procumbens (the one I bought) was discussed by Former DOH Secretary Jaime Galvez Tan in some TV station and referred to as ashitaba, that’s why this becomes popular.




Ashitaba Angelica keiskei Koidzumi


I was invited by Marvin in visit his farm after I informed him of my ashitaba. He showed me and stressed that the Angelica keiskei is the real ashitaba from Japan. Further research showed that Angelica keiskei koidzumi is indeed is considered the angel among Japanese medicinal plants as it is rich in anti-aging properties that helps maintain smooth, young skin. It is high in vitamin B-12, vitamin C, calcium, iron. Helps detoxify the liver and kidneys, strengthen cartilages, bones (osteoporosis) and tendons, purifying blood, improving the immune system, treat hypertension, reducing the risk of cancer and the risk of brain disorders and heart problems.
