Bush Medicine in the Classroom

Brianna Fernandez writes about her
Bush Medicine Classes with Ms. Salomy Oliver



Miss Salome is an excellent medicinal teacher. Her classes has helped me to appreciate plants more. She taught us about several plants which are useful and can be used as medicine and food.

My favourite is the Gombolimbo. This plant is also known as  Indio Desnudo, Chaca and The Tourist Tree. The Gombolimbo is used to heal rashes and cuts. It is also used to purify blood and used to heal blisters and swellings. It is also used to prepare a delicious healthy jungle juice. The jungle juice is made from a mixture of other plants  such as hibiscus, china root and cinnamon. No w you can see what Miss Salomy has taught me is really interesting and useful in my every day life.
