Back to Our Roots: Rediscovering Healing Through Medicinal Plants

In partnership with Sarilaya, MaJeKaL Mission is helping parishioners of San Pablo Apostol Parish in Tondo promote the rediscovery of healing through medicinal plants—an affordable, natural path to wellness for communities in need.

For centuries, plants have served as nature’s pharmacy, offering simple and effective remedies for everyday illnesses. Today, this wisdom is being revived to provide families with accessible, sustainable, and culturally rooted healthcare.

 Why It Matters

·       Affordable care for common ailments

·       Self-reliance through homegrown remedies

·       Cultural renewal of traditional practices

·       Sustainable living rooted in God’s creation

This initiative is more than a health program—it is a ministry of compassion, restoring wellness while honoring the gifts of creation. Through this partnership, Sarilaya and MaJeKal Mission are helping communities heal, grow, and flourish—naturally.
