Translation of the video
We are at Margarete’s and Carlinho’s house. Mrs. Margarete, I would like to know what the usage of this plant (“Sabugueira”) is. This is against high fever. The second plant, “Acerola” (Malpighia emarginata), is also good for some diseases… Yes, for cold and also weakness. You can make the juice and drink it. “Erva-cidreira” (lemon balm) is also used as medicine. What kind of medicine? This is good for “indigestion” or “dyspepsia” and also high blood pressure. You can drink the tea. Look… this is the beautiful backyard of Mrs. Margarete. Through this video, you can watch us and all these medicine plants we have planted here in Conquista Community. This is “Hortelã-Graúdo” (Big Mint). This is for sore throat (amigdalitis). You can have the tea. Also for heavy cold. In this case, you can add honey. This is a “Maravilha” tree and I would like you to explain what it is used for. When the animals give birth and don’t feel very well, we extract its juice and give to them.
