For thousands of years, great thinkers had known that nature had healing powers in its four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. However, today there is a struggle to claim the medicinal power of plants because, after all, many of the medicines developed by large laboratories take elements from plants.

We must remember that plants make a well-known process called photosynthesis, and through that solar transformation, they make molecules. Many of these molecules are nutritious, and many others are curative, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, lubricant, nervous system relaxant, and muscle, among other beneficial properties.

In the same way that a person consumes food to enjoy their nutrients, the use of plants through supplements, food, or other pathways serves to help the body make essential chemicals that give structure, create energy and facilitate the functioning of organs.

What are the medicinal benefits of plants?

We all know that some remedies have been passed down from generation to generation, also known as "grandma's pharmacy," based on plants and proven to work well. Therefore, they continue to be helpful. Let's see in more detail what are usually its main benefits:

1- Anti-inflammatory: in this case, we refer to inflammation that may occur inside or outside the body. This benefit exists because some plants have a double action in such a way that they eliminate the root problem and relieve the ailment. You can find an example of this in turmeric or vervain.

2- Astringents:  these plants achieve to contract the affected organic tissues, as occurs with sage or yarrow.

3- Diuretics: highly recommended when you are looking to clean your body and leave it free of toxins and impurities that may have accumulated over the years. As an example of this, we can find the ponytail radish.

4- Stimulants: ideal when you go through times of great fatigue or want to cope with fatigue. For this, the best allies are the echinacea, St. John's wort, and the Astragalus.
