It's interesting how the Character of a Plant has a bearing in the human body, that is what my mother always says, She talks of a plant as medicinal Herbs is used on someone according to its characteristics, try finding a vine called Mumve your Audience will be captivated
Yes, it's fascinating. The earliest writings on medicinal plants, from the Greek physiciain Dioscorides, writing nearly 2,000 years ago, described a phenomenon he called the "Doctrine of Signatures" in which medicinal plants resembling parts of the body are used to treat ailments of that specific body part. I find it completely fascinating how this appears across all kinds of different cultures around our planet!
I am in Namibia. Karibib. Zemi-desert area. I use it as a tea. They grow here alot. The mountains is covered with this plant. However i have tried to replant them in a pot and in the soil with absolutely no luck. Really hard to grow them
Thanks for sharing. Yes, nobody has really cracked the cultivation yet. But I don't think it is that difficult. There was a team in Pretoria a few years ago that successfully reproduced the plant from seed, but they didn't survive beyond 18 months, which they attributed to it not being the native environment. Have you tried from seed?
