Medicinal Plants
Discover real people in real places and what they are
doing to stop slash and burn agriculture through productive
and eco-logical practices.
| Many of our tours will take you to learn about
plants and their uses in the medical field with different
groups and healers around the Maya World... |
|
There you may learn:
- about the plant's ecology and healing properties in
the tropical rain forest...
- about traditional communities whose ancestral methods
of healing and home remedies are now finding a niche in
a growing market in different countries...
- about healing yourself with Mayan healers...
- about getting better with self-help medicine derived
from a deeper knowledge of what they can do for you and
by rescuing plants...
From this rich learning experience you take home with
you many other benefits are being derived:
- empowering indigenous people to share their expertise
and ancient knowledge about the connection between taking
care of ourselves by taking care of nature...
- empowering them to take control over their land and
reclaiming a past that may help us improve our health
and well being, as well as our future...
- allowing ecotourism to become a powerful ally for indigenous
people’s economy and the conservation of their own
protected areas, national parks and of the sanctuaries
around them...
- finding new markets for their medicinal plants and derived
natural products, improving the quality of life for our
local partners in the areas we visit and placing more
value on plants in general and the biotic communities
where they live specifically, so that they may be protected
as valuable resources for human health...
