There are 9 types of echinacea, three of which are used for medicinal purposes, native to North America. In herbal medicine, the leaves and seeds of this plant are used, but its roots have the most valuable healing properties.
For centuries, Echinacea has endowed people with its extraordinary beauty and healing properties. For its lovely inflorescences, Echinacea is called the "American golden flower" or "evening sun". And today, with its unusually attractive inflorescences, it will decorate any garden, and beekeepers will appreciate it - after all, it is an excellent honey plant. Blooming from mid-summer to mid-autumn, Echinacea flowers attract many butterflies, bees and bumblebees to the garden. As a honey plant, the plant is valuable because it blooms at the end of summer, when the main honey plants have already faded. From one hectare of continuous crops of echinacea, 60-130 kg of honey can be obtained.
Only Echinacea purpurea has been well studied, it is widely used in medicine and is popular in ornamental gardening. The American Indians, knowing about the healing power of echinacea, cultivated it centuries ago and used it as a universal medicine for a variety of diseases.
Echinacea roots and herb contain essential oils, resins, phytosterols, carbohydrates, isobutylamides, fatty oil, and a variety of other substances. 7 groups of biologically active substances have been found in plants, which include polysaccharides, flavonoids, caffeic acid derivatives, essential lipids, alkylamides, vitamins and trace elements.
Experts recommend taking echinacea for any septic conditions, symptoms of blood poisoning, meningitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, burns, boils and purulent ulcers, gangrene, stomatitis, gum disease, candidiasis, psoriasis, eczema, inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system, postlercosis , gonorrhea, herpes, hemorrhoids.
As it turned out, echinacea not only stimulates antiviral and antibacterial immunity, but also directly, like antibiotics, causes the death of bacteria, viruses and some fungi. It is especially effective to use echinacea during epidemics, as it helps the body to cope with viral diseases. Echinacea extracts inhibit the growth and reproduction of streptococcus, staphylococcus, Escherichia coli. The preparations of this plant are effective in the treatment of prostatitis, gynecological disorders, various wound processes (trophic ulcers, osteomyelitis). Juice from fresh inflorescences accelerates blood clotting. In general, the remedy is recognized as non-toxic, but in some cases it is not recommended to take echinacea - during pregnancy and lactation, with tuberculosis, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, collagenosis.
The Australian green tree frog is a species of tree frog native to Australia and New Guinea.
Larger than most Australian frogs, the Australian green tree frog reaches 10 cm or more in length. Its average lifespan in captivity, about 16 years, is long compared with most frogs.
Green tree frogs are little troubled by the presence of humans and often live in close association with them. They sometimes stray inside houses and are found in such places as sinks and toilets. They can also be found on outside windowsills at night, eating insects attracted to the light, and they may gather under outdoor lighting for the same reason. They sometimes occupy tanks (cisterns), downpipes (downspouts), and gutters, as these have high humidity and are usually cooler than the external environment. They may be drawn to the downpipes and tanks during the mating season because the fixtures amplify their calls.
Due to its appearance and behavioural traits, the green tree frog is a popular exotic pet throughout the world. The skin secretions of the frog have antibacterial and antiviral properties that may prove useful in pharmaceutical preparations and which have rendered it relatively immune to the population declines being experienced by many species of amphibian.

Talinum Frutosum, popularly known for many names in Brazil, among them Fat Mary, Cow's tongue, among others, is a cosmopolitan herb from the tropical regions of America long introduced in Africa, where it is considered native.
Although ruderal, the frutosum talinum is considered an ornamental plant due to the strong green color of its leaves contrasting with the mimosas pink flowers, sprinkling vases and gardens. It is also used in homemade medicine for the treatment of diabetes, measles and constipation, being very effective in care for wounds, eczema and healing due to its high mucilage content with emollient properties. It also has hepato-protective, nephro-protective, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Although it is a long time used as food in African countries, where it was introduced, here in Brazil is considered a non-conventional alimentary plant.
Die Bach-Nelkenwurz ist in Flachmooren, Auen zu finden, aber auch in der Uferzone von Teichen und Bächen.
Die Bach-Nelkenwurz wird 20 bis 60 Zentimeter hoch und von April bis Juni mehrere nickende Blüten trägt. Bei uns gibt es nur zwei Nelkenwurze, neben Geum rivale noch Geum urbanum, die Echte Nelkenwurz.Die Wurzeln Geum-Arten enthalten das ätherische Öl Eugenol, daher der Name Nelkenwurz.
In früherer Zeit wurden die getrockneten Wurzeln in der Küche als günstig verfügbarer, weil heimischer Nelkenersatz verwendet. Junge Blätter können als Mischgemüse und Salat verwendet werden.
Neben Eugenol enthält die Wurzel Glykoside, Triterpene und Flavonoide. Sie wirkt antibakteriell, schweißtreibend, entzündungshemmend und adstringierend (zusammenziehend). Für die pharmakologische Droge werden Rhizome und Wurzeln der Nelkenwurz verwendet.
Blume des Jahtres 2007. Sie steht inzwischen in mehreren Bundesländern ( Deutschland) auf den regionalen Roten Listen.
Geum rivale is found in fens, floodplains, but also in the riparian zone of ponds and streams.
The brook clovewort grows 20 to 60 centimeters high and from April to June it bears several nodding flowers. In our country there are only two clove roots, besides Geum rivale there is Geum urbanum, the true clove root.The roots Geum species contain the essential oil eugenol, hence the name clove root.
In earlier times, the dried roots were used in cooking as a cheaply available, because native clove substitute. Young leaves can be used as a mixed vegetable and salad.
Besides eugenol, the root contains glycosides, triterpenes and flavonoids. It has antibacterial, diaphoretic, anti-inflammatory and astringent (astringent) effects. Rhizomes and roots of clove root are used for the pharmacological drug.
Flower of the Year 2007, it is now on the regional red lists in several states (Germany).

Undergrowth of the forest in Wadano, Hakuba. The bamboo grass in the photo is supposed to be Kumaizasa (Sasa senanensis). Senanensis probably derives from Shinano, old name of the Nagano prefecture.
It is a species different from the bamboo grass in the Tsugaike marshes (Chishimazasa, Sasa kurilensis) but the same as the one in Happoone. It usually occurs in lower altitude areas than Chishimazasa.
Sasa or bamboo grass has been used to wrap foods as it has, or is believed to have, an antibacterial effect.

Taraxacum officinale, the dandelion or common dandelion, is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant of the dandelion genus in the family Asteraceae (syn. Compositae). The common dandelion is well known for its yellow flower heads that turn into round balls of many silver-tufted fruits that disperse in the wind. These balls are usually called "clocks" in both British and American English. The name "blowball" is also used.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a plant often regarded as a weed but one that may offer health benefits by acting as a diuretic ("water pill") or potentially boosting the immune system to help fight infections. It is also said to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.1
Naturopaths and other alternative practitioners often contend that dandelion can help treat a wide range of medical conditions—including arthritis, liver disease, diabetes, obesity, and even cancer—although there is little scientific evidence to support the claims.
Dandelion comes in many different forms. Its greens can be eaten raw or cooked. It is also available in supplement form as tablets, capsules, tinctures, or liquid extracts.
Polygala myrtifolia is an evergreen 2-4m tall South African shrub or small tree. The attractive mauve sweetpea-like flowers, which close at night, may also be pink, crimson or white, and have a characteristic brush-like tuft protruding from the keel.
The species is noted for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. The University of KwaZulu Natal found that aqueous extracts of P. myrtifolia proved effective against Candida albicans.

Wearing rosemary has become a traditional symbol of remembrance and commemoration in Australia.
On special days of commemoration, such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, Australians often wear a small sprig of rosemary. Usually, it's pinned onto a coat lapel, near to the heart, or held in place by medals.
Rosemary grows wild on the Gallipoli peninsula in Türkiye, where many Australians served in World War I. In the 1980s, cuttings of plants from Gallipoli were planted in nurseries throughout Australia to support Avenues of Honour.
Studies have shown that the carnosic and rosmarinic acids in rosemary have powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Consuming rosemary regularly can potentially help lower the risk of infection and help the immune system fight any infections that do occur.

The Australian green tree frog (Ranoidea caerulea), also known as simply green tree frog in Australia, White's tree frog, or dumpy tree frog, is a species of tree frog native to Australia and New Guinea, with introduced populations in the United States and New Zealand, though the latter is believed to have died out. It is morphologically similar to some other members of its genus, particularly the magnificent tree frog (R. splendida) and the white-lipped tree frog (R. infrafrenata). Larger than most Australian frogs, the Australian green tree frog reaches 10 cm or more in length. Its average lifespan in captivity, about 16 years, is long compared with most frogs. Docile and well suited to living near human dwellings, Australian green tree frogs are often found on window sills or inside houses, eating insects drawn by the light. The green tree frog screams when it is in danger to scare off its foe, and squeaks when it is touched. Due to its appearance and behavioural traits, the green tree frog is a popular exotic pet throughout the world. The skin secretions of the frog have antibacterial and antiviral properties that may prove useful in pharmaceutical preparations and which have rendered it relatively immune to the population declines being experienced by many species of amphibian. It is a common species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being "least concern". 15331

- Nutmeg is the spice made from the seed of the fragrant nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) tree.
The spice has a distinctive pungent fragrance and a warm slightly sweet taste; it is used to flavour many kinds of baked goods, confections, puddings, potatoes, meats, sausages, sauces, vegetables, and such beverages as eggnog.
The seeds are dried gradually in the sun over a period of six to eight weeks. During this time the nutmeg shrinks away from its hard seed coat until the kernels rattle in their shells when shaken. The shell is then broken with a wooden club and the nutmegs are picked out.
Dried nutmegs are grayish brown ovals with furrowed surfaces. The nutmegs are roughly egg-shaped, about 20.5–30 mm (0.81–1.18 in) long and 15–18 mm (0.59–0.71 in) wide, weighing 5–10 g (0.18–0.35 oz) dried.
-And... to read with some reserves:
Nutmeg powder has a number of health benefits. Not only is nutmeg a common spice made from the kernel of an exotic fruit, but it also has antibacterial properties and contains ingredients that can help improve memory, benefit the heart, relax muscles and aid with digestion.
However, nutmeg powder in excessive doses may cause an acute psychiatric disorders and hallucinations.
Polygala myrtifolia, the myrtle-leaf milkwort, is an evergreen 2-4m tall South African shrub or small tree found along the southern and south-eastern coasts, from near Clanwilliam in the Western Cape to KwaZulu-Natal. It is a fast-growing pioneer plant, a typical fynbos component, and may be found on dunes, rocky places, along forest margins, beside streams, and in open grassland. It belongs to the milkwort family of Polygalaceae.
The thin, oval, mucronate leaves, 25–50 mm long and up to 13 mm wide, are arranged alternately and have entire margins – some forms of P. myrtifolia have thin, needle-like leaves. The attractive mauve sweetpea-like flowers, which close at night, may also be pink, crimson or white, and have a characteristic brush-like tuft protruding from the keel. For pollination an intricate piston mechanism is used. The fruit is an oval, brown, dehiscent capsule which is narrowly winged. The species is often cultivated in South African gardens.
The genus of Polygala comprises some 659 species with a wide distribution in the tropics and temperate zones.
'Polygala' is interpreted as 'much milk' since the plant was thought to stimulate milk production in European cows – 'myrtifolia' translates as 'myrtle-shaped leaves'.
The species is noted for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Research conducted by the University of KwaZulu Natal found that aqueous extracts of P. myrtifolia proved effective against Candida albicans.

A woody, evergreen shrub with vigorous growth, Allamanda may reach a free-standing height of 6 feet or more. The leathery leaves are lancelike, pointed, and may be opposite or in whorls of three or four. The large trumpet-shaped flowers may be yellow, white, purple, pink or orange. Their scent is delicate and fruity.
In the wild, Allamanda grows along riverbanks and open, sunny areas with adequate rainfall and perpetually moist substrate. The plants do not tolerate shade, salty or alkaline soils; they are highly sensitive to frost. Allamanda are otherwise undemanding and in appropriate conditions will grow rapidly, from 3 to 9 feet annually. The seed capsules are oval and prickly; cultivated forms rarely produce seeds, but Allamanda are easily propagated from cuttings. Discarded cuttings are quick to take root.
Allamanda have become naturalized throughout the tropics; they may be seen in roadside ditches, abandoned yards and dumps. As a controlling measure, cutting is ineffecive with Allamanda and will lead to vigorous coppicing ( reshooting from the stump or roots). Because of its fast growth, Allamanda has been introduced widely as a groundcover, for hedges and screens.
Yellow Allamanda cathartica is notable for its medicinal properties: all parts of the plant contain allamandin, a toxic iridoid lactone. The leaves, roots and flowers may be used in the preparation of a powerful cathartic. The milky sap is also known to possess antibacterial and possibly anticancer properties. Gardeners exposed to the sap will develop rashes, itc, and blisters.
Allamanda is named after Dr. Frederich Allamanda (1735-1803), a Swiss botanist of the late 18th century.

Eucalyptus honey is prized for its natural health benefits including antibacterial properties, antifungal properties, high antioxidant levels and ability to relieve coughs, sore throats, and respiratory ailments.
Pharmacological research has shown that the essential oils and extracts from D. viscosa (yellow fleabane) possess a variety of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, analgesic, and antioxidant properties.
Lamb's Ear or Stachys byzantina is in the mint family used by many as an antibacterial dressing for wounds.
The power of Manuka honey lies in its unique chemical composition. It contains high levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), an organic compound with powerful antibacterial properties. This active ingredient is absent (or barely present) in other types of honey.
Travelling to the "Weeping Island" of Natural Treasures & Celestial Bodies ... :
*The Aegean island of Chios is home to one of the most treasured and rare natural products in the world.You have to travel to the south of the island to collect Mastic tears and to witness the miracle of the weeping,evergreen, mastic tree, a phenomenon known Only to this Part of the World.
* History of mastic :
A leaf fossil from a mastic tree has been found dating six million years.Mastic has been known since ancient times.We find the first references to it in Herodotos (5th century BC). Some ancient authors who mention the properties of mastic are Dioskourides, Theophrastus, Galenos, Hippocrates, Apollodorus, Plinius, and Ermolaus.There is also evedence that Mastic was cultivated and exploited during the Hellenistic period.
* When Christopher Columbus visited the island in the 15th century,mastic had already become the trademark of Chios.He believed that If the value of spices was calculated by their weight in silver,the value of mastic should be calculated by its weight in gold.From ancient times mastic has been used as a natural medicine.Nowadays,it's widely used in food industry,cosmetics and in the pharmaceutical industry for the therapy of stomach ulcer and general stomach disorders. Traditionally mastic is taken as medicine for diabetes, cholesterol and any kind of stomach problems as it contains antioxidants and has antibacterial properties.Scientists recently discovered that when administrated even in small doses it decreases levels of total serum cholesterol, LDL,total cholesterol/HDL ratio.
*Within the European Union, mastic production in Chios is granted protected designation of origin.
* Not a Panacea,but it's Good for You,my friends ...

Drosera erythrorhiza, red-ink sundew. Boon was the name of the red bulb of this species that was consumed by Noongars in south-western Australia. Sundews, including this species, are also a rich source of bioactive compounds, which are used as a mechanism for defence. These compounds possess a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antiparasitic, antibacterial, insecticidal, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory and anti-fever activities. Naphtho-quinones are one of the most studied bioactive compounds, which inhibit the growth of proliferative cells and microbes.

SN/NC: Medinilla Magnifica, Syn. Medinilla speciosa, Melastomataceae Family
Medinilla is a perennial epiphytic plant in the genus Medinilla of the family Melastomataceae. Medinilla is named for José de Medinilla y Pineda, who was governor of Mauritius (then known as the Marianne Islands) in 1820. Medinilla speciosa reaches on average a height of 45–60 centimetres (18–24 in). This evergreen shrub has woody branched stems and opposite leathery green leaves (up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) long and 15 centimetres (5.9 in)wide, with prominent veins. The dainty small flowers are bright pink-colored and are produced in large panicles on pendant reddish stems. The flowering period extends from early Summer to Fall. When the blooming is finished for about a month remains a raceme of showy berries, pending that the plant reflowers. These rounded fruits are at first pink and purple-blue when ripe (hence to common name of Showy Asian Grapes.) Other common names: Rose Grape, Showy Medinilla, Malaysian Orchid, Chandelier Tree, Kapa-kapa.
The plant is utilized as a traditional medicine, by boiling, brewing, or consuming it directly. The fruits are consumed by pregnant women as health supplement and also used as diarrhea, mouth sores, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial treatment. This plant occurs naturally in Borneo, Java and Philippines. In Borneo, the plant can be found at the Kinabalu in the Malaysian part of the island. It's distribution include peninsular Malaysia (Penang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor), Java, Sumatra, Lesser Sunda Isl. (Sumbawa, Lombok).
A medinila é uma planta arbustiva, de textura semi-lenhosa e florescimento ornamental. Seus ramos são quadrangulares, alados, frágeis, pouco ramificados e eretos. Eles crescem lentamente e podem atingir até 2 metros de altura. As folhas são sésseis, opostas, grandes, verde-escuras, cerosas, brilhantes e com nervuras claras e bem marcadas. As inflorescências pendentes, surgem na primavera e verão e são muito duráveis. Longas, elas chegam a 30 cm de comprimento, e apresentam brácteas e flores róseas dispostas em cachos, como se fossem uvas, o que lhe rendeu o nome popular "uva-rosa".
A medinila pode ser utilizada isolada ou em grupos. Ela é perfeita para compor conjuntos com outras plantas tropicais, como alpínias, helicônias, gengibres, formando suaves contrastes de texturas e cores. Por ser uma planta vistosa, mas ainda rara e exótica, causa impacto aos espectadores de sua beleza e tem sido utilizada em jardins contemporâneos e tropicais. Como seu crescimento é demasiado lento, ela necessita pouca manutenção e podas. Curiosamente, as medinilas são muitas vezes encontradas epífitas (sobre as árvores) nas Filipinas, seu local de origem. Seu nome é uma homenagem a José de Medinilla y Pineda, então Governador de Mauritius, (Anteriormente conhecida como Ilhas Marianas), em 1820.
Medinilla is een overblijvende epifytische plant van het geslacht Medinilla van de Melastomataceae-familie. Medinilla dankt zijn naam aan José de Medinilla y Pineda, die in 1820 gouverneur was van Mauritius (toen bekend als de Marianen). Medinilla speciosa bereikt een gemiddelde hoogte van 45-60 centimeter (18-24 inch). Deze groenblijvende struik heeft houtachtige vertakte stengels en tegenoverliggende leerachtige groene bladeren (tot 20 centimeter (7,9 inch) lang en 15 centimeter (5,9 inch) breed, met opvallende nerven. De kleine delicate bloemen zijn helderroze van kleur en zijn geproduceerd in grote pluimen op hangende roodachtige stengels. De bloeiperiode loopt van het begin van de zomer tot de herfst. Als de bloei ongeveer een maand is afgelopen, blijft er een tros van opzichtige bessen over, wachtend tot de plant weer bloeit. ronde vruchten zijn aanvankelijk roze en paarsblauw wanneer ze rijp zijn (vandaar de algemene naam van opzichtige Aziatische druiven.) Andere veel voorkomende namen: rozendruif, opzichtige medinilla, Maleisische orchidee, kroonluchterboom, kapa-kapa.De plant wordt gebruikt als traditionele geneeskunde, gekookt, vergist of direct geconsumeerd. De vruchten worden door zwangere vrouwen geconsumeerd als gezondheidssupplement en ook gebruikt als diarree, zweertjes in de mond, ontstekingsremmende, kankerbestrijdende en antibacteriële behandeling. Deze plant komt van nature voor op Borneo, Java en de Filippijnen. Op Borneo wordt de plant gevonden in Kinabalu op het Maleisische deel van het eiland. De distributie omvat het schiereiland Maleisië (Penang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor), Java, Sumatra, Lesser Sunda Isl. (Sumbawa, Lombok).
Medinilla est une plante épiphyte vivace du genre Medinilla de la famille des Melastomataceae. Medinilla doit son nom à José de Medinilla y Pineda, qui était gouverneur de Maurice (alors connue sous le nom d'îles Marianne) en 1820. Medinilla speciosa atteint en moyenne une hauteur de 45 à 60 centimètres (18 à 24 pouces). Cet arbuste à feuilles persistantes a des tiges ligneuses ramifiées et des feuilles vertes coriaces opposées (jusqu'à 20 centimètres (7,9 po) de long et 15 centimètres (5,9 po) de large), avec des veines proéminentes. Les petites fleurs délicates sont de couleur rose vif et sont produites en grandes panicules sur des tiges rougeâtres pendantes. La période de floraison s'étend du début de l'été à l'automne. Lorsque la floraison est terminée pendant environ un mois, il reste une grappe de baies voyantes, en attendant que la plante refleurisse. Ces fruits arrondis sont d'abord roses et bleu-violet à maturité (D'où le nom commun de Showy Asian Grapes.) Autres noms communs: Rose Grape, Showy Medinilla, Orchidée malaisienne, Chandelier Tree, Kapa-kapa.La plante est utilisée comme médecine traditionnelle, en la faisant bouillir, en la brassant ou en la consommant directement. Les fruits sont consommés par les femmes enceintes comme complément de santé et également utilisés comme diarrhée, plaies buccales, traitement anti-inflammatoire, anticancéreux et antibactérien. Cette plante est naturellement présente à Bornéo, à Java et aux Philippines. À Bornéo, la plante se trouve au Kinabalu dans la partie malaisienne de l'île. Sa distribution comprend la Malaisie péninsulaire (Penang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor), Java, Sumatra, Lesser Sunda Isl. (Sumbawa, Lombok).
Medinilla ist eine mehrjährige epiphytische Pflanze aus der Gattung Medinilla der Familie Melastomataceae. Medinilla ist nach José de Medinilla y Pineda benannt, der 1820 Gouverneur von Mauritius (damals als Marianne-Inseln bekannt) war. Medinilla speciosa erreicht im Durchschnitt eine Höhe von 45 bis 60 Zentimetern. Dieser immergrüne Strauch hat holzige, verzweigte Stängel und gegenüberliegende ledrige grüne Blätter (bis zu 20 Zentimeter lang und 15 Zentimeter breit) mit hervorstehenden Adern. Die zierlichen kleinen Blüten sind hellrosa gefärbt und werden in großen Rispen produziert an hängenden rötlichen Stielen. Die Blütezeit erstreckt sich vom Frühsommer bis zum Herbst. Wenn die Blüte etwa einen Monat lang beendet ist, bleibt eine Traube auffälliger Beeren übrig, bis die Pflanze wieder blüht. Diese abgerundeten Früchte sind im reifen Zustand zunächst rosa und lila-blau (daher zum gebräuchlichen Namen von auffälligen asiatischen Trauben.)

メディニラは、メラストマ科メディニラ属の多年草着生植物です。メディニーリャの名前は、1820 年にモーリシャス (当時はマリアンヌ諸島として知られていた) の知事だったホセ・デ・メディニーリャ・イ・ピネダにちなんで命名されました。メディニーリャ・スペシオサの高さは平均 45 ～ 60 センチメートル (18 ～ 24 インチ) に達します。この常緑の低木は、木質で枝分かれした茎と、反対側の革のような緑色の葉 (長さ 20 センチメートル (7.9 インチ)、幅 15 センチメートル (5.9 インチ) までで、葉脈が目立つ) を持ちます。可憐な小さな花は明るいピンク色で、大きな円錐花序で咲きます。赤みを帯びた垂れ下がった茎に咲きます。開花期は初夏から秋まで続きます。開花が終わると約 1 か月間、華やかな果実の総状花序が残り、植物が再開花するまで続きます。これらの丸い果実は最初はピンク色で、熟すと紫がかった青になります。 （したがって、派手なアジアンブドウの一般名が付けられました。）他の一般名：ローズグレープ、派手なメディニラ、マレーシアの蘭、シャンデリアツリー、カパカパ。
この植物は、煮たり、煎じたり、直接消費したりして、伝統的な薬として利用されています。果実は妊婦が健康補助食品として摂取するほか、下痢、口内炎、抗炎症、抗がん、抗菌治療にも使用されます。この植物はボルネオ島、ジャワ島、フィリピンに自生しています。ボルネオ島では、この植物は島のマレーシア部分のキナバルで見られます。分布にはマレーシア半島（ペナン、ペラ、パハン、セランゴール）、ジャワ、スマトラ、小スンダ島が含まれます。 （スンバワ島、ロンボク島）。
是一种灌木状植物，具有半木质的质地和观赏性开花的特点。其茎干呈四棱形，带翅状结构，质地脆弱，分枝较少且直立生长。植株生长缓慢，最高可达2米。叶片无柄，对生，大型，呈深绿色，表面具蜡质，光泽明显，叶脉清晰且颜色较浅。
花序下垂，于春夏季开放，持久性极佳。花序长度可达30厘米，由粉红色的苞片和花朵组成，排列成簇状，形似葡萄串，因此得俗名“粉红葡萄”。
美丁花可单独种植或群植，非常适合与其他热带植物（如艳山姜、赫蕉、姜花等）搭配，营造柔和的质感与色彩对比。因其外观醒目且仍属稀有异域植物，观赏时极具视觉冲击力，近年来广泛应用于现代园林和热带风格庭院。由于生长极为缓慢，它几乎不需要太多养护和修剪。
有趣的是，在美丁花的原产地菲律宾，它常以附生形式（生长于树上）出现。其属名“Medinilla”旨在致敬1820年时任毛里求斯（旧称马里亚纳群岛）总督的何塞·德·美丁尼拉-皮内达（José de Medinilla y Pineda）。

Mycena leaiana (orange mycena) is a small, bright orange mushroom that grows in dense clusters on decaying hardwood in eastern and central North America, with a variant also found in Australasia. It is a saprophyte, meaning it feeds on and decomposes wood. It produces a vivid pigment called leainafulvene, which has antibacterial and cytotoxic properties.
Though not known to be poisonous, it is considered inedible due to its small size, rubbery texture and staining properties.

Yes, honey does offer several potential health benefits. It's a source of antioxidants and can act as a natural cough suppressant, wound healer, and may even help with digestive issues and oral health. Honey's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties also contribute to its potential health-promoting effects.
However, honey itself is another form of sugar, and it should be consumed only in moderation.

Yerba Mansa has been used for centuries for poorly healing infections of the mouth, such as gum, mouth and throat sores; intestinal problems such as stomach and duodendal ulcers; urinary tract infections; and is useful for arthritis because it stimulates the excretion of uric acid and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is anti bacterial and antifungal, so it is useful for skin infections also. The roots are gathered in the fall and winter, when the foliage has died back. Wash them well and allow to dry whole for several weeks, then slice into sections and allow it to finish drying. When totally dry (take care not to allow them to mold), grind to powder to mix with water for tea or antiseptic washes. Available in capsule form.

Lots of cleaning going on - must be using an antibacterial gel after visiting the last doggy-doo :-)
Das Liliengewächs Bulbine frutescens ist auch unter Katzenschwanzpflanze bekannt. Sie hat den witzigen Beinamen „Brenngeleepflanze“, da aus Ihren Blättern beim durchschneiden ein geleeartiger Saft austritt, der als Heilsalbe verwendet werden kann..Das antibakterielle Gel kann ähnlich wie Aloe verwendet werden, also bei Sonnenbrand, Wunden, Hautausschlägen und Insektenstichen. Im Sommer ruht die Pflanze überwiegend, im Frühjahr blüht sie und im Herbst erneut, allerdings etwas schwächer.
The lily plant Bulbine frutescens is also known as wild kopieva. It has the funny nickname "stinging jelly plant" because when you cut its leaves, a jelly-like juice comes out, which can be used as a healing ointment. The antibacterial gel can be used in a similar way to aloe, i.e. for sunburn, wounds, rashes and insect bites. The plant is mostly dormant in summer, blooming in the spring, and then again in autumn although somewhat less.

Pika are a real passion for me. These mighty mights of the alpine world fascinate me to no end. They are adorable, tenacious, fast as lightning, tiny, and the hardest little workers I know. They spend all of the summer gathering various tundra grasses, wild flowers and plants to store under the rocks and boulders for their winter survival. They gather these items in particular orders that only they understand. Many of the plants serve as antibacterial protection for the food stashes. I have spent countless hours photographing and enjoying their antics. Many more images to follow.
