LOH 124 - MY LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH Herbs (ENG-ESP)
Spices and herbs are things that we shouldn't think of not having around us or at least making use of them every now and then. I love herbs and spices, the fact that they are natural and they meet the needs of our cells makes it a must love for me. I'm a lover of nature and anything natural, at some point I took any plant I saw as herbs and even more as a medicine or cure to something. I've heard a whole lot of testimonies about how herbs and roots save the day and I've also had a lot of experiences with them too.
There are a lot of herbs that I know of that have different functions which are either similar or different but in any case it works perfectly well. When I was little, I remember I hurt myself really badly under my foot and then I was living with my late paternal grandmother. I couldn't walk well because I was bleeding non stop and my cousin that were with me then, took me home. I was so scared going home because I knew who my grandmother was, she was an herbalist and I know a lot of you will agree with me that most of our grandparents are natural herbalist, hehe. Immediately my grandmother saw me, she asked what happened and we explained to her and she sent my cousins to go and get some herbs from the bush that was nearby.
The funny thing was that I already knew what they were going to get because I was the one who went to get it for her the last time somebody got hurt. In less than five minutes, my cousins returned and they gave the herbs to my grandmother. The herb was just a green leaf that has some beautiful flowers on top of it, I don't have a picture of it and sadly I don't know what it's called because I was little then and I just called it flower, lolz. Well, as usual, my grandmother placed a pot on the firewood that was burning and added Palm oil to it and allowed it to get hot and then she placed the herbs inside and stir it for some few seconds.
She asked my cousins to hold me tightly so I don't shake my body too much. It's sad that I couldn't run off because I was injured but I wished so badly that I could. My thoughts then was, how can my grandma put something as hot as that under my foot, it was really scary you know, hehe. Before I could know what was happening, I felt something really hurt under my foot and all I could do was scream but I couldn't move because they held me so tight. And just like that I heard my grandma telling them to let me go and I thought she just wanted me to rest and that's why she asked them to let go of me.
Well, to my surprise it was because she was done! The joy that was in me to have heard my grandma say let her go, made me jump up and I forgot I had injury under my feet. After a few seconds, I remembered but guess what, I couldn't feel the severe pain anymore, just like that! I was healed, it felt like magic and I didn't really feel so much pain why she was applying the herbs, it's just that I had too much imagination of how it should hurt, haha.
That herb saved me from leaping for a long time but sadly I don't know what it's called but I can recognize it very well when I see it. I think that herb is one of the finest herb I've seen so far because it looks like a flower and of course flowers are always beautiful. Spices are good too and they have their own benefits but I will go for herbs because they can also be used to make some spices too, hehe.

Las especias y las hierbas son cosas que no deberíamos pensar en no tener a nuestro alrededor o al menos hacer uso de ellas de vez en cuando. Me encantan las hierbas y las especias, el hecho de que sean naturales y satisfagan las necesidades de nuestras células hace que sea un amor imprescindible para mí. Soy amante de la naturaleza y de todo lo natural, en algún momento tomé cualquier planta que vi como yerba y más aún como medicina o cura para algo. He escuchado muchos testimonios sobre cómo las hierbas y las raíces salvan el día y también he tenido muchas experiencias con ellas.
Hay muchas hierbas que conozco que tienen diferentes funciones que son similares o diferentes, pero en cualquier caso funciona perfectamente bien. Cuando era pequeño, recuerdo que me lastimé mucho debajo del pie y luego vivía con mi difunta abuela paterna. No podía caminar bien porque sangraba sin parar y mi prima que estaba conmigo entonces me llevó a casa. Tenía mucho miedo de ir a casa porque sabía quién era mi abuela, ella era herbolaria y sé que muchos de ustedes estarán de acuerdo conmigo en que la mayoría de nuestros abuelos son herbolarios naturales, jeje. Enseguida me vio mi abuela, preguntó qué pasaba y le explicamos y mandó a mis primos a ir a buscar unas yerbas al matorral que estaba cerca.
Lo gracioso fue que yo ya sabía lo que iban a conseguir porque fui yo quien fue a buscarlo para ella la última vez que alguien resultó herido. En menos de cinco minutos, mis primos regresaron y le dieron las hierbas a mi abuela. La hierba era solo una hoja verde que tenía unas flores hermosas encima, no tengo una foto de ella y, lamentablemente, no sé cómo se llama porque yo era pequeña entonces y solo la llamaba flor, lolz. Bueno, como de costumbre, mi abuela colocó una olla sobre la leña que ardía y le agregó aceite de palma y dejó que se calentara y luego colocó las hierbas dentro y revolvió durante unos segundos.
Le pidió a mis primos que me abrazaran con fuerza para que no sacudiera demasiado mi cuerpo. Es triste que no pude salir corriendo porque estaba lesionado, pero deseaba tanto poder hacerlo. Entonces pensé, ¿cómo mi abuela puede poner algo tan caliente debajo de mi pie? Fue realmente aterrador, ¿sabes?, jeje. Antes de que pudiera saber lo que estaba pasando, sentí que algo realmente me dolía debajo de mi pie y todo lo que podía hacer era gritar pero no podía moverme porque me sujetaban muy fuerte. Y así escuché a mi abuela diciéndoles que me soltaran y pensé que ella solo quería que descansara y por eso les pidió que me soltaran.
¡Bueno, para mi sorpresa fue porque ya había terminado! La alegría que había en mí de haber escuchado a mi abuela decir déjala ir, me hizo dar un brinco y olvidé que tenía heridas debajo de los pies. Después de unos segundos, lo recordé, pero adivina qué, ya no podía sentir el dolor intenso, ¡así como así! Me curé, se sintió como magia y realmente no sentí tanto dolor por qué ella estaba aplicando las hierbas, es que tenía demasiada imaginación de cómo debería doler, jaja.
Esa hierba me salvo de dar saltos por mucho tiempo pero lamentablemente no se como se llama pero la reconozco muy bien cuando la veo. Creo que esa hierba es una de las mejores que he visto hasta ahora porque parece una flor y, por supuesto, las flores siempre son hermosas. Las especias también son buenas y tienen sus propios beneficios, pero me decantaré por las hierbas porque también se pueden usar para hacer algunas especias, jeje.

I love using spices and herbs in cooking.. In our province, there are also traditional ways of treating illnesses using herbs. Back when we were young, those were our alternatives to medicines, but nowadays, we seldom see them..
Yeah it's hard to find people using herbs now compared to years ago, just few people still make use of them.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with me, I'm glad to have you here 🤗.
