People travel from all over the world to be treated by the herbal remedies of the rain forest and the traditional practices of the Tanah villagers. The Garcia Sisters have gained much of their knowledge from their uncle, the most famous and respected Belizean bush doctor, don Elijio Panti. Plants are very important to the way of life in Tanah. For example, the cohune palm nuts are used for jewelry or to extract oil for cooking, while the young shoots when boiled or fried make a delicious snack, and the roots can be used for a blood tonic. In Tanah's botanical garden a vine grows which quenches a day's thirst.
Plants provide the villagers with definite cures for asthma, arthritis, baldness, among others.
It is through communion with nature, preservation of traditions, and a holistic lifestyle that the Mayan Herbal Remedies and Teas can be shared. Order List 1. Put in water and drink the water every day. For sores in the mouth, put directly on affected area. No side effects.
