Medicinal Plants 🌱💊

Hello! Today I’ll write about medicinal plants; to start I have to say my parents are both believers of the power of our nature, so they have always taught me about different medicinal plants and their capacity to heal. In my opinion these medicinal plants can help but they are not magical; there are a lot of other factors that have to be along with the treatment, such as a good diet, meditation, that are not usually compatible with our rhythm of life.

Last semester I went to a workshop about “Natural Gynecology” where I learnt a lot more about these plants (related and not related with gynecology). The one I use the most is ginger, it really helps me when I have a cold. I mix it with hot water, lemon and honey; the effects are amazing I recommend it for these days when we don’t have time to get sick.


Another anecdote I remember is that a year ago, I got really sick, my “stomach” ached A LOT and I didn´t know what was wrong, so my mom gave me every single medicinal plant that was in my house. She gave me an infusion almost for every organ of my body, my colon, my liver, my stomach, and nothing worked, we decided to go to the doctor and at the end I had to get an APPENDECTOMY ): That’s why nothing helped, I needed surgery ): !!
