ABOUT HERBS
Plants Used in Mexican Traditional Medicine
Mexico has a rich tradition of herbal use that predates the European conquest by many centuries. Mexico's medicinal herbal repertoire is one of the world’s most diverse and contains various native plants, as well as many other species introduced from diverse parts of the globe. Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 plants (both native and introduced) are currently used medicinally by 52 different ethnicities throughout the country.
The Aztec civilization of Mexico was the only one in the New World to record the use of medicinal herbs.They did so in “codices” or catalogues that showed drawings of the plants. Codices containing information about Aztec medicinal plants were considered “heretical”, and burned by Spanish missionaries.
Some medicinal plants may have a mystical significance in Mexican traditional healing practices.
