Multifunctional plants
Plantas multifuncionales
Raquel Collante
Multifunctional plants or PlanS, as their name suggests, are those that have more than one function. If I name Valerian, for example, its use to combat insomnia or certain cases of anxiety will surely come to mind.
But if I name Vinaigrette or Nettle, or Borage, surely you do not know what they are for, since they have always been considered as“ weeds”. Although it is possible that this“ weed” takes you back to your childhood memories: tasting the vinegar-flavored stalk or the hives produced by putting your hands in places you shouldn’ t have.
Let me surprise you with PLANS:- They are easy to grow, even if they are wild. They are the least demanding and give us the most.- They are edible.- If you have a garden with plants or vegetables, they will support your crops.- They are medicinal plants.- We can use them cosmetically.- They help us as natural insecticides.- They have had magical uses since ancient times.
