Additional information

"Las plantas han sido las primeras medicinas que aparecieron sobre la tierra, las únicas usadas por nuestros antepasados y que han representado (y representan) todavía el primer gran laboratorio vegetal que existe en el planeta: la medicina de la naturaleza. Confirma que las hierbas pueden ser usadas con objetivos fitoterapéuticos.
El término de hierbas “oficiales” deriva de “officina” o “taller”, como se llamaba en la Edad Media el laboratorio farmacéutico donde el boticario trabajaba y preparaba los fármacos.
La ciudad de Asunción (Paraguay) está poblado de “officinalis” a cielo abierto donde se comercializan las plantas medicinales y se comparte el conocimiento adquirido o heredado en el entorno familiar.
Estas imágenes son un homenaje al aspecto más bondadoso de la naturaleza y a quienes ayudan con su conocimiento". Gabriela Muzzio
