    Tsaang Gubat, also known as wild tea or Philippine tea, is an erect shrub that grows 1 to 4 meters high. It has green, lobed leaves and bears small white flowers and yellow, fleshy fruits. The plant's major constituents are triterpenes that have been shown to have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal and antimicrobial properties. Extracts from its leaves are traditionally used to treat abdominal colic, cough, diarrhea and dysentery, and have been studied for anti-allergic, anti-cancer and antimutagenic activities. Preparations involve boiling the leaves to make a decoction for drinking to relieve stomachaches and diarrhea.
