#marigoule

Couple months ago I went on a hike to a deserted beach in Robin’s Bay St. Mary (it needs a clean up btw...all kinda garbage from Haiti and DR) On the hike I saw so many of the healing herbs that we are blessed to have on this island. They were either brought here with us or they were waiting here for us and we should make use of them. Here are just a few of their benefits: Milk weed - treats cold, bronchitis and other respiratory tract infections. Sage - treats colds, coughs, asthma and fever....anti-malaria, anti-dengue anti-bacterial Pepper Elder - in Jamaica we use pepper elder to treat colds, flu, fever, pain and stomach problems. Vervine - immune stimulant, anti-microbial. Studies confirmed vervines effectiveness in treating respiratory problems. Cerasee - promotes immune function and increase resistance to viral and bacterial infections.

While I was at the Sisterwombs Retreat in Portland, walking on my way back from Long Bay Beachi stopped and picked these Spanish Needle(white flower) and Marigoule(yellow flower)...Just two of some of the amazing herbs that we have on this island growing wild. I took some notes from one of my favorite herb books called JA Herbs written by Kukuwa Abba. It’s a treasure to have! The Ministry of health needs to put focus into research to make sure that the full potential of these herbs are realized instead of trying to demonize our traditional use of herbs. #herbs #herbalhealing #herbalremedies #marigoule #spanishneedle #jamaicanherbs #jamaica #herbalism #herbalist #bushmedicine #dengue #denguefever (at Jamaica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6GnwdIBqvq/?igshid=1xiawp6be3p0b
