  1. WOW! I didn’t know all those things about Aloe Vera, I just think that was like pomade that function when you get burned, but you are telling me that also this plant can combat the colitis, the asthma and the diabetes.

    Anthraquinones, Saccharides, Prostaglandins and fatty acids, they are hard words that I didn’t understand, because all the words are in a medicine methodology. Maybe you can use a definition in the bottom of your blog and many people can understand better those words. That would be great.

    Well your investigation about Aloe Vera is great I hope that your next continue like this.

    I didn’t think that these plants can help you with all these things like to lose weight, to purify your body. For me a very important thing is that you need to have a healthy body and a good nutrition and thanks for said this in your blog, because is very useful to drink more tea and use boldo plant. Also if you are stomach ill you can use the boldo plant because increase the excretion of urine and reduces the fluid retention.

    Thanks Luis Abraham for told me all these things I will keep in mind.

  6. Is amazing all the things that you can make with a bunch of lavender. I didn’t know that we can use it for cooking a lot of stuff and maybe one of these days I will say to my mother to make something with the lavender like the Peppered Lavender Beef, Cottage Cheese-Herb Bread I hope that these things taste good and also succulent.
    These articles are awesome and also very interesting, I need to try with more natural things and start telling to my friends to try all these things.

  7. Hi! Luis

    These plants are so interesting; do you where can I find it?

    Maybe I can use too, in my car or maybe in my room, because when people enter to my room I hope that they said Oh! Hugo your smell so good, just kidding. But all these plants are fantastic to aromatize every place, I know that min can use it in your mouth but I’m not sure if the chamomile and jazmin can use it too.

    I think that your comment is true about the jazmin, because many pretty girls smell very good and I like it.

    Well thank you man about this plants.
