Natural medicines plants and the shamans of the Amazon rainforest part 2

Howard G Charing and Peter Cloudsley join the Amazonian shamans, Javier Arevalo and Artidoro in discussions on the drugs and spirit of medicinal plants and their use.

Rosa Sisa

It is a kind of calendula, and they are used in baths especially for children with "evil area." This disease occurs when a family member dies and leaves the unfortunate child and sleepless nights. The spirit of the dead grandfather - or whoever it was, drags and makes the sick child. Mind is sad go and rest at home after the person is buried and attempt to caress and comfort of people in the family. That makes them ill.
Rosa Sisa also controls vomiting in General, as well as in floral baths for good luck.

Generally an envious neighbor will be catching a handful of land of the cemetery and throw in your House to spread trouble and heavy feelings.
Yet again, when something is wrong in the House - people are bored or restless - you get a bucket of water and add flowers of Rosa Sisa crushed and Camalonga and wash the floors of the House with a brush to clean it.

Alternatively you can have flowers in a vase in the House for the same purpose. Many people them grows on each side of the door of their House to absorb the negativity of people who looks in enviously to see what assets they have. The flowers are black, but later they retrieve themselves.
Concerns may also be used to make vows, blowing with the wish in mind - as we do with a dandelion - because it is yellow, the colour of the Sun.

Manchare or susto (fright) are diseases commonly suffered by children and treated with Camalonga - a tree which grows wild in the forest, but many people grow it in pots of flowers in the city. It smells like garlic and onions can be macerated in alcohol to be rubbed on the person. In cases requiring a soul recovery would be a prayer or singing at the same time.

Usually a child gets Manchare reading in the trees and jumping to the ground and receive a bump much greater that they expect. In this case the Rosa Sisa is linked to a bouquet with a Ribbon white and brushed on the body of the head down. This is because the spirit returns through the Crown of the head. A small prayer is said to invoke the new spirit, using the name of the child.
It can be used in the emplasts for fever too.

Ushcaquiro

This plant is very little known and used. As chuchahuasi, discharge of mothers take care of their baby, vaginal cancer, cold, it is good after operations. It is prepared in water or alcohol. Painkiller.
Ushcaquiro, Huairacaspi and Chiricsanango together, do a good treatment for arthritis.

Guayusa

Problems of gastritis, annex or bladder gale you can take it as a tea.
Even when it is dry is still smells.

New plants for the landscape

How many new factories have you added to your garden this year... i.e. plants that you have never grown before? Have you ever given yourself the thrill of the password through the pages or of one of the seed catalogues online and to order a package of this and a package that you have never tried? It "s incredible how many adventure you will find in the spending of a dollar or two." There is still time for sowing the seeds of many annual plants and see them flourish this year.

In one of the seed catalogues that I note lovely annual fragrant flowers that can be used as a House of plants... exacum. Another is the first blooming season - Rudbeckia, similar to the gloriosa daisy Biennale. Others are another red, Chinese forget-me-not, trumpet (Datura) annual flower Gaillarde, English daisy. It's a few annual plants, most of them in the catalogs since 50 years or more, but you can enjoy them if you have never tried them.

There is still time to sow flowers hardy, such as Salvia, Asclepias, Rudbeckia, Hesperis, snow Queen and chrysantha.

A watering system

Have you considered running a few permanent lines of pipe plastic three-quarters of an inch of the House out to the corners of the garden? A line to the bottom of each side running with taps spaced 40 to 50 feet should allow you to your place together with a length of 50 feet from the water pipe. It is important, unless you have pressure higher than the average of the water, to use three-fourths of an inch pipe for tracks that are more than 50 to 75 feet. Although the plastic pipe is supposed to be non-fractionnement when it freezes, is always well to exhaustible in low spots.

Plants with flowers in early spring, as the primrose, the leopardbane, the flowers pink azalea and others can be divided and replanted as soon as they are flowering. To help overcome the ethnic divide and transplantation, always cut about half of the foliage. It is always a complete fertilizer with soil mix. If it is hot and dry, the shades for the first week.

There is still time to plant deciduous trees with Evergreen if they will respect your climate. Because many are grown in containers or delivered and burlapped, they can be moved much later than bare root plants. Thinking towards the zero about weather, how we did enjoy Evergreen hardwood trees that were around our garden... rhododendron, pieris, boxwood, the different form of creeper of winter leaves persistent (Euonymus), firethorn (Pyracantha), Holly of America and the last, but be less respectful yucca but lovely. It seems too bad that some people are just a little snob, so that they can help to grow this yucca outmoded.

Nolina - a most special plant for a dry climate garden

Is there an ornamental plant which makes it a most beautiful sculptural silhouette and the more unusual, requires practically no care and attention and is extremely modest in its water needs? The answer is Yes! This is the Palm of the bottle, Nolina recurvata.

Nolina, due to its thick trunk and counter leaves long, grassy, makes a very strong vertical emphasis, in the garden, amounting to a few metres of 3-4 and after very many years more. Its particularity is the inflated base from which rises the trunk. On mature plants, this can be up to one metre in diameter and resembles something like a giant onion.

Requiring little water, the Palm of the bottle is ideally designs landscape dry. It can be planted in a bed of decorative stones, for example, or in a wood chip mulch and marries well with other solid form as Dracaena and Yucca plants. In fact it could serve as a focal point, or the dominant element in a composition based on the ornamental grasses and plants like grass. For example, it seems large floating of a low growing carpet "weeds" as Festuca, Carex and Liriope.

Nolina must be used wisely. It will step in my view with large leaved plants and of course tropical, but associates well enough with fins Trues. It is sometimes grown as a vertical focus in a carpet of flowers. Personally, I think that this creates some confusion, as the colour of the flowers and strong lines of the Nolina attention. Good design involves the exact relationship between a dominant factor, be it a sculptural plant or a mass of colour and a factor of support as a green hedge or cover.

Nolina recurvata must be on the more easy to grow plant. It is also close to being free maintenance as possible. Nevertheless, it has its cultural requirements, which must be carefully noted.

* The most crucial is the need for excellent drainage. It is preferable to underwater Nolina to the alternate it. For this reason, that it should not be planted close to plants that require frequent watering, as annual flowers. In such cases, the bulb is liable to rot.

* Nolina requires full sun, but can get by in the light shade

* Do not forget that this plant grows very slowly. As he needs room to grow, it should not be crowded out with competing species. As always, patience is a virtue!

Plants of Garden Best 7 for dry climates

Have done even that frame cold? My, how I wish I could try everyone by doing a cold frame, even if it was only a little his colleagues two by three feet. In reality three by six feet is a size better since the glass cello which you would probably use to cover comes from three feet wide.

He tack to a frame made of transverse bands of a by two inches with one or perhaps two bars to prevent the top of subsidence with the snow of the winter. If the rear of the image is a couple of inches higher than the front it will shed a little easier water. Tongue and grooved pine flooring is cheap and allows a good image. Dealing with the preservation of wood to help prevent rot. To give two good layers and should you run for five or ten years.

One of mine is filled with pots of divisions of rock plants not for my own use but to give to friends. Several other frameworks are full of Primroses were not large enough to extinguish directly in the garden. They spend the winter in the framework and then out next spring. It's my auricula Primrose that seem to better winter within the framework of out in the open garden.

1. Choose the right House for your spot plant: some plants need lots of light and others will burn if you expose them to too much sunlight.

2 Watering plants in the House: this is where most of the errors are made. Most plants are killed by spraying. Never keep the plant sitting in a bin or a pot filled with water during a long period of time.

3. At what frequency should water? The best way to know if a plant needs water is to feel with your fingers. Touch the compost at the Summit. If it feels dry, you have to water. Not water the plant if the compost is feeling or wet. Reduce watering during winter ranges.

4. How should water? It depends on many of the room temperature, exposure to direct light from the Sun and the time of the year. There is no general rules. The safest way is to fill the dish with water and allow the plant to absorb as much water as he likes. Pour excess water at 20 to 30 minutes.

Feed your plants from home at least every two weeks during the growing season (April to September). An a stream once every six weeks in the winter is sufficient for most indoor plants.

6. Use a house general purpose plant food and it dilute the instructions on the label. It does not really matter if it is a powder, liquid or organic. Use everything that you and your plants are satisfied. The key is that you do not use a fertilizer! Flowering house plants have a high potash fertilizer as food of tomato.

7. Domestic plants such as fresh air. Air rooms frequently especially if you're a heavy smoker.

8 Re-potting of plants: depending on the size of the pot and the growth of your plant, it will have to be re potted or it will become bound pot. If you see roots coming out at the bottom of the pot or root-ball is composed of the roots only, it is time to do so.

9 Air humidity: most plants thrive if humidity levels are approximately 50-60%. To achieve this goal, you can spray your plants regularly with water or place them on a pebble tray is filled with water.
