It was a perfect day that one saturday when I get to visit a Lagundi Farm in Batangas along with other co-bloggers. We were introduced to ROQS International Consumer Health Corp. (RichCorp) is a cutting-edge, eco-friendly consumer business that focuses on natural organic raw materials, health care (including herbal medicines and food supplements), personal care, and household care. 

RichCorp is the maker of  Sto Pio Citronella Andas a natural derma armor spray and sanitizer manufactured by RichCorp; Loco Mosquin, a natural citronella oil-based hand and body moisturizer; Candle for repelling insects scented with citronella from L'abriegO; Immune Advance capsule and HappyCha Lagundi Tea beverage.

Plant Description:

The Lagundi plant can grow up to five meters tall. It can be described as a cross between a shrub and a tree with a single woody stem (trunk). One of Lagundi's distinctive features is its pointed leaves with five leaflets set like a hand.

We were also introduced to "Yerba Buena", a soon to be all natural pain killer! Explained by Mr. Patrick Roquel, Founder of Puno Sagip Buhay and President of GH Nutripharma Inc.

Today, whenever we feel sick, we immediately take pharmaceutical medicines than the usual traditional ones like Lagundi. We often neglect the power of our local herbal medicinal plants that are freely available in our community. Maybe it’s time to go back to traditional and alternative medicine that we were used to having but if symptoms persist, do consult a doctor for appropriate clinical interventions.

RichCorp brings together a wealth of knowledge and experience in the business of providing cutting-edge, enhanced, and global-quality goods that improve consumer lifestyle, health, and well-being. The company's mission is to provide people with healthcare solutions that make life easier, better, and more enjoyable by developing organic products that are effective, efficient, and convenient made from locally sourced natural ingredients.

In 2009, together with Dr. Elinor Roquel, he started to distribute lagundi and sambong tablets to DOH.  And when the husband and wife tandem found out that DOH-PITAHC needs supplier of raw materials of lagundi and sambong, they started to establish the plantation of these herbal raw materials in the same year.

The  processing facility of the company in Bgy. Natatas, Tanauan, Batangas City has improved its  processes on drying, pulverizing and storing of the herbal powdered products since then. BINHI is  currently involved in the production of herbal plants, processing of the powdered herbal products and extraction of essentials oils from citronella. 

With the help of DOST, he went on to upgrade the entire processing facility to conform with the FDA requirements to acquire  the FDA-LTO as a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company. Their Lagundi product has been FDA-approved as bronchodilator and is being distributed by GH Nutripharma, an affiliate.
