Mature that heals
Patagonia, the far-off land, offers you a variety of
medicinal plants, traditionally used since these plants were the only known
medicine before doctors arrived. Their effectiveness is a knowledge that has
been transmitted through generations. May be their discovery was the result of
the wish of the different cultures to heal, something magical or religious, or
something that brought them happiness. Most of the discoveries were the result
of search for new kinds of food. They had to try and see if those plants were
edible by the effect in their bodies. Some were poisonous causing death and
others generated an increase in sweating, eliminated arthritis or were good for
the bowels. That´s how the medicinal proprieties of some plants were discovered.
We have the perfect environment for the development of these herbs: abundant
precipitations, fertile soil and untouched forest areas in the mountains.
One of the herbs that really works is the “Llantén",
Llantén
Matico
you
can find it in the forest but will grow in any garden. It is between 10 and
60cm high, it has white flowers that bloom at spring (September) up to the last
days of summer (December).
Using all the parts of the plant, you can prepare an infusion like tea or a
mouthwash for mouth or throat inflammations. It can also be applied on a patch
for sores or burns. It has effective results on digestive or breathing systems
problems.
Another herb is the “Matico” or known as “Pañil”. It can reach 3 metres high,
it blooms between May and November, and its flowers are yellow and orange. We
can use it for internal and external wound healing, as gastric disorders or
infections. We can prepare it by leaving the plant to boil for 15 minutes and
when cool we can apply it to disinfect wounds or we can prepare it as an
infusion using the chopped leafs in boiling water.
This heavenly place is waiting for you to enjoy and taste our natural wonders...
