•This publication presents the most relevant and useful information about the herbs and plants grown in the most common surroundings in the city, and in the province of the Philippines The Philippines is considered one of the megadiversity centers of the world. It is also a country blessed with a rich natural plant life. Constituting a significant part of bountiful biological resources are the country's endemic, indigenous, and exotic species of plants. A number of these plants grow spontaneously in various habitats and thrive on their own. A huge number of natural and introduced flora in the Philippines are normally used for regular home cooking or used for medicinal purposes.

The fourth chapter looks at herbs for concoctions that promote wellness through teas, juices, rubs, and special washes. The fifth and last chapter discusses growing herbs in all types of spaces.
