SOROPTIMIST SISTERS – AND THE WONDERS OF ASHITABA PLANTS

SI Malabon members Beth and Sally are fondly called the “Soroptimist Sisters”. Beth is the Treasurer of the club who is often seen in club projects and meetings. Sally, on the other hand is the shy and resourceful type. She stays at home managing the family business while doing offline and online research for the club, and seeing to the regular updates of the club's website.

The Soroptimist Sisters came to know about the Ashitaba Plant and the benefits that this plant could give to poor women in the community and nearby areas. They went to the former location of the famous “Smokey Mountain” bringing with them the Ashitaba Plants. There are still many people living there, mostly poor residents. Women and girls in the area had since propagated the plant. They had been using the plant to cure several ailments.

The women and girls and their families were very thankful to Beth and Sally for taking time out of their busy schedule and had the time to care for them. They also came to know about Soroptimist, an organization of professional and businesswomen whose aim is to improve the lives of women and girls.

    hello, do you give away or sell ashitaba plants? These are the real Japanese Ashitaba Plant (tomorrow's leaf) right? and not the gynura procumbens which most people in the philippines claim/ or even sell as ashitaba. Where can I acquire a pot? How much?

    malamang talaga na gynura yun!!!!!!ipamigay mo ba naman yun ashitaba ng ganun ganun na lang,,,ginto yun baka di nyo alam,,,yun mga matataba na yun,eh mauuna pang ubusin yun ashitaba kaysa ipamigay yun eh,mas kailangan nila yun noh!!!tsaka ang charity works dito sa pinas ay di gagastos ng malaki,,tsaka anung pakialam ng tao sa tao ,magkandamatay matay man ay walang pakialaman dito,sus,charity work,wala yan

      ang sama nmn ng dila ng isang nagcoment siguro kung ikaw ang may ashitaba plants itatago mo yun sa baol kasi mukhang ikaw yung taong walang paki alam sa kapwa mo. hwag mong lahatin kasi ilang percent lng nmn kayo sakim at walang pakialam sa kapwa mo. sana lang hindi dumating ang araw na kailanganin mo ang ashitaba plants

    Great post about ashitaba though I figure from the picture posted that these plants featured are actually gynura procumbens. For the real ashitaba from Japan, please share your thoughts when you spare some time reading my articles at ashitabaplant.com

    Based on ashitabaplant.com, I think this is the Ashitaba variety from Hachijo Japan: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ashitaba-Angelica-keiskei-koidzumi-for-Sale/300232080121742.
    But can anyone also confirm this? because i'm planning to get from them. I heard this is good for preventing Cancer.
