Surabaya, Indonesia - Chemical medication can cure sickness despite the fact that it also passes on side effects that may be unsafe to the upcoming health of sickness. This case redirects our attention to administer traditional herbal medication as alternative.

 

Having contacted with many elements in society through surveys and investigations, we have spread national campaign in favor of herbal medication. This campaign lasts for 4 years to raise people?s awareness of planting herbs for medicine. This project recommends Sansevieria, unique multifunction plant: for medicine or adorned plant; reducing electric radiation and CO2 to prevent global warming.


As young activists, we become aware of this mission as we know that there are still people who need our help to solve their problems.

 

Based on data by Indonesian Department of Health, there are 21% of poor people in East Java who can?t take good care of their health.
We went to hospitals to observe condition of sick people and gave questionnaires about health and medicine. Many of them were afraid not able to recover soon as they are allergic to some chemical medication.

 

The data from Indonesian Environment Ministry show that at the meantime fresh air in Indonesia was only in 62 days per year. 60% from bad air came from CO2.
World Health Organization lists Indonesia as the top country with the highest smoking rate.

 

The above data shocked us and redirect our attention to set up campaign on building traditional herbal medication garden, especially for planting Sansevieria.

 

Sansevieria can produce oxygen 24 hours per day and be an air-refresher in the office or house as it can reduce cigarette smoke and smell. NASA USA Research gives information that it can reduce 107 dangerous poisons and electric radiation from computer, television, or other electric machines.

 

It has also been proved by Wolverton Environmental that it is a unique plant. Only 5 pieces leaves of Sansevieria are needed in the room of 100 m2 to get the benefits of it.

 

Generally, there are at least two types of Sansevieria, original types which are cheap; people plant it to reach the function. The other one is an adorned collection that can reach high a price.

 

Nowadays, people are attracted by this beneficial plant and willing to start planting Sansevieria as well as other medication plants in their own home-garden.


Let's conserve Sansevieria!
