Blumea balsamifera (Nagal camphor or Sambong)
Various methods of treatment exist, including herbal treatment in the Philippines that uses the medicinal herb Blumea balsamifera[10].

A very popular Philippine herbal flowering plant used as medicine to treat wounds and cuts, rheumatism, anti-diarrhea, anti-spams, colds and coughs. It is also used for infected wounds, respiratory infections and stomach pains. Sambong is very popular among people with kidney problems because of its diuretic qualities. It can be taken as an early afternoon tea to maintain a healthy urinary tract. It also helps flush uric acid as well. The Philippine National Kidney and Transplant Institute recommends taking sambong for patients with renal problems. Studies noted that it may help to delay dialysis and other kidney problems. Sambong also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Blumea balsamifera or sambong is a common medicinal plant found throughout the Philippines. It is common in open fields, grasslands, and waste areas, at low and medium altitudes. It also occurs in China, Hainan, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam[23].
