The healing herbs
Today there is a growing interest in healing plants and herbs. The word “herb” derives from the Latin word, “herba” and the old French word “herbe”. Nowadays, herb refers to any part of the plant like fruit, seed, stem, bark, flower, leaf, stigma, or root, as well as a non-woody plant. Earlier, the term “herb” was only applied to non-woody plants, including those that come from trees and shrubs. These medicinal plants are also used as food, medicine, or perfume and also in certain spiritual activities. Myths can be related to these herbs' usage and popularity.

Asparago
E’ indicato per diabetici, nei casi di gotta, di idropisia di origine cardiaca, di calcoli renali, di reumatismi, negli eczemi.
E’ la presenza di fosforo e di vitamina B che lo rende indicato in tutti i casi di astenia. Sono il manganese e la vitamina A che esercitano un drenaggio del fegato e quindi hanno un benefico effetto sui legamenti, sui reni e sulla pelle. Contiene inoltre l’asparagina, costituente di molte sostanze proteiche; e poi zucchero, calcio, fosforo, sodio, magnesio, potassio, tutti elementi componenti delle ossa, del sangue e dei tessuti. E ricordiamo le preziose vitamine, pure queste ospiti dell’asparago: A, B1, B2, C e PP. Fu apprezzato fin dall’antichità: Dioscoride, Galeno e Celso infatti lo consigliavano come diuretico e lassativo. Cuocere gli asparagi in pochissima acqua, così da non disperdere i sali contenuti in essi.
