      “You have to have a heart. It’s better to have a good heart in order to help other people because money is not really important but your willingness to help other especially the poor,” an encouraging lines from Ms. Corazon Sinson Juadan, the great woman behind the success of Camias Jigger and turmeric which gained good impression from the customers upon its manufacturing.

        Ma’am Cora as what her students and friends had called her is a retired teacher in Capiz State University wherein she taught fruit processing and preservation. She started doing this kind of business as an experiment because she had noticed one day that there are abundant Camias fruits in Roxas City where she lived. That’s her starting point to make a candied fruits from Camias and along the way of making those candies something pop out in her mind that what if she converts the Camias juice into Camias jigger.

         So what she did is everytime she make camias candies, she also make jigger out of its juices. The name became jigger because according to ma’am Cora the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) advised her that she will name her product as jigger instead of wine because jigger refers to a medication or healing supplement and will not labelled as alcoholic drink. She started experiment this camias jigger within the span of 30 years.

       “I tried to use my products for my own consumption and I found out that it can be a good healing supplement for it heals my illnesses especially stress and migraine.Actually the doctor told me that I have a cyst in my neck part but when I consult for another check-up, it turns out that my illness already disappears through the help of my very own products.” Ma’am Cora explained.

      She get all his fruits within Roxas City because people their do not mind about the existence and great help of this fruit. Her other friends also give her camias which in return, she will give them wine or jigger. Other processed products she sells are tamarind, camote, bignay, tambis and balimbing candies, five fruit cinder, instant salabat, and turmeric. All these processed products are manually made through the help of his nephews and other relative since she doesn’t have her own family.

      She has a lot of fruits and products in her so called laboratory in their house but she has limited financial or budget in the manufacturing of her own products because there are no bottles available for her jigger. As year goes by, all her products became bestsellers especially her wine and jigger. Apparently, through the help of Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Science and Technology, Bureau of Food and Aquatic Resources and Philippine Export, Ma’am Cora has already registered as the manufacturer of those products. Department of Science and Technology give her a presser in order for an easy working during its manufacturing.

    “There’s come a point in time when I feel of giving up due to financial aspects, requirements and processing but because of my prayers, little help of my friends and healing power of my products, I overcome with it. A lot of people who knows my product will visit my house to buy them because they believed that my products will cleanse their bodies and give them a healthy life.” said Ma’am Cora.
  
     “My products are very affordable for it only cost P35.00 to P150.00. My Camias jigger is a better supplement because these fruits are rich in vitamin C. It fights cholesterol and it is used a tonic and a laxative. Syrup made from the fruit is used in French Guyana to cure ailment from jaundice. The fruit is also known to stop internal bleeding in the stomach. As sleep inducer, drink one jigger before sleeping in order to achieve good sleeping habit. The turmeric, also known as curcuma, produces a root that is used to produce the vibrant yellow spice as a culinary spice so often used in curry ideas. Turmeric is a native to India and parts of Asia, and is relative to cardamom and ginger. Laboratory studies have found out that it protects the body from oxidative damage. It also inhibits the development of cataracts, breast cancer, colon cancer, and lymphoma. In one study, smokers that took just one teaspoon of turmeric a day for 30 days had lower level of cancer causing mutagens. The usual dosage is 445 milligrams in capsules or one teaspoon of extract three times a day, or one teaspoon of turmeric powder in warm milk as a digestive aid, “she added.
