Boldo is a native South American evergreen tree that can grow up to 20-24 feet tall. Its dark green leaves turn red-brown when dried. The tree produces small white flowers and edible yellow fruit. The opposite, entire leaves are 2-3 inches long and have numerous small, wart-like protrusions on top. Boldo is a richly branched shrub with ovate, leathery leaves that are slightly rolled at the edges. Its small, bell-shaped flowers are white or yellow in color, while its fruit is a small, edible yellow berry. The plant's leaves are used medicinally and can be harvested year-round to make an herbal tea after drying.

The leaves contain a variety of isoquinoline alkaloids and approximately 2% essential oil. For centuries, indigenous communities in South America have employed the leaves of Boldo as both a flavoring agent and medicinal herb.

Boldo is native to the wilds of Chile, but it's also cultivated in the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean area.

How to use:

Powdered Herb:

Powdered herbs can be used in various ways.

To prepare food, add the powdered herb to smoothies, sauces, spreads, or baked goods like cookies. For children, mix it with honey or glycerin to create a paste. The thicker the paste, the stronger and more herbal the flavor will be. Mixing with honey or glycerin also makes the medicine easier to take due to their sweet taste. This method is called "Electuaries".

When making your own herbal capsules at home, you can be certain that they contain only pure powdered herb, without any fillers or additives. They can also be taken with a liquid.

A poultice is created by mixing an herbal powder with a liquid, typically water, to form a paste that can be applied directly to the skin, offering relief from various skin issues.

Mix powdered herbs with water, fruit juice, or another liquid to create a concentrated herbal drink.
