How to make Akapulko ointment

Last June 27, during in our Related Learning Experience (RLE) 20 class, our teacher taught us how to make Akapulko Ointment. This ointment as what they have told us is good for skin itchiness, skin infection and even scabies.

Our group, Group 1, is so excited to make this ointment. Actually, it is our first time and we are like in an unstoppable ignition of feeling excited because we would like to know the process in making this ointment that really cures skin irritations.

First, we prepare all the things needed. They are:
240 ml. chopped in small pieces Akapulko leaves
240 ml. finely scraped Esperma candle
240 ml. palm oil
Cooking clay pot (kolon)
Denatured alcohol
Match
Wooden laddle

After preparing the equipment and ingredients needed, then we go to the main thing of making the ointment.

1. Wash your hands.
2. Wash the fresh young Akapulko leaves.
3. Chop the washed fresh young Akapulko leaves.
4. Prepare the Esperma candle and scrape thinly.
5. Prepare one glass of Esperma (240 ml.) candle, one glass of chopped, fresh young Akapulko leaves and one glass of palm oil.
6. Pour one galss or chopped young Akapulko leavs and one glass of palm oil into a clay pot and boil.
7. Mix and stir the leaves using a wooden spoon or ladle until the leaves become crispy and golden brown.
8. After cooking, strain and pour the boiling extracted juice in oil into the container with one glass of Esperma or thinly scraped pieces of candle.
9. Let it cool, and then pour it into a clean container.

As we were done making the ointment, we were glad that such an activity would give us an idea that we can indeed utilize to make ointment from Akapulko leaves that will serve to help us heal and even cure our minor skin problem.

Appreciate the availability of herbs in the surrounding would make us knowledgeable that in order to find alternatives in directly not resting yet for medication especially when the illness or disease is not deep, we can get the right option from nature's available and approved by the Department of Health (DOH) herbs.
