medicinal plants homeIn this article we will talk about 10 medicinal plants that a lot of people always have at home. The list of medicinal plants is immense and we do not pretend to exhaust it. Use this text as a guideline for you to know, to know how to use, some of the plants most used by Brazilians for healing.

The use of medicinal plants as a substitute for pharmacy remedy comes from far-off times – ever since humans hunted and collected, experimented with edible plants and watched for what they served. But in modern times and in all societies plants are used to heal where there are no doctors, pharmacy or money.

These are the knowledge that, from generation to generation, already take centuries of improvement, by trial and error. They belong to the culture of each people and region because the plants used are those that are most easily found or that are always cultivated because they belong to the local cuisine. This is the recognized “Popular Medicine”, which is based on the empirical knowledge of healers, shamans, shamans and doctors of bare feet – a way to seek health and healing that does not pass through pharmacies, diplomas or industrial chemical preparations and which , nor does it fail to produce good results.

As we see in the list below, all these are plants of European origin (except the brave lemon that is native, and the avocado, which is Central American) but of use and cultivation in our country since its colonization.

The medicinal uses we point out below are some of the many that can be made – the list of uses would also be too exhaustive – and are the most common, consecrated and recognized.
