Hi I'm Jun Herbalist. I loved to explore things around us, especially herbs that cure people's disease and different illnesses. Urticaceae (Philippine Nettle - ALINGATONG), "Laportea meyeniana" (Scientific name) is an herbal supplement also known as Alingatong roots, taken from the roots of the nettle plant. ( See picture: bit.ly/2qep0KQ ).

The root of the stinging nettle plant has long been used for alternative herbal medicinal purposes. Historically, it was used as a diuretic to eliminate excess water from the body, and for the treatment of joint pains.
