The use of home remedies in the management of minor health complaints is an area of health care that up to date has not been yet extensively researched. Regarding existing literature, there are numerous information can be heard, but scientific literature is scarce. The purpose of this study is to properly determine the efficacy of Philippine Ageratina Adenophora as home remedy to stop bleeding in minor wounds or tissue trauma. Three concentrations were determined from the extracts of the plant where tap water was the diluent. Control variable was used to see if differences exist. It has been noted that the higher the concentration of the extract, the higher its potency. It was also validated that, significant difference between the two variables was noted at which, the extract of the experimental variable has shorter clotting time than the control variable. Indeed, it is important to dessiminate the importance of the Philippine Ageratina Adenophora and learn how it will be propagated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
