Medicinal Nature - Manda Spring

Manzanita

March 26th 2007 22:33
The manzanita plant is part of the Ericaceae family. The name manzanita actually means "little apple" in spanish; the small red berries are edible and are used widely in jellies and jams. The leaves of the manzanita plant are used in a tea helping with urinary tract infections, chronic kidney inflamations, and water retention. Pregnant women should not use the tea.

When I was a kid, we used to chew the berries and get tiny amounts of honey from the flowers. Manzanita is an amazing shrub, to be sure. It also burns really hot and is great for starting fires if you're camping out.

Hello Jessicca
Thank you so very much for your comment! The only white box is for the google adsense ads, maybe it didn't load properly on your computer so don't worry, I didn't add a picture or anything........

Manda,

...any chance of featuring pictures of these herbs... fresh and/or dried? It makes them easier to absorb and remember when at the shop?

Thanks
