Wild buchu

Wallpaper Description:

Buchu is native to South Africa. The indigenous people of South Africa used buchu leaves and the oil of Buchu for hundreds of years. The medicinal use of this plant is part of the cultural heritage of the Khoisan, who chew the leaves to relieve stomach problems and mix the leaves with sheep fat as an ointment to treat wounds. In the 17th century, when Dutch colonists settled in South Africa they learned about the herb from the natives and adopted Buchu for urinary tract infections, kidney stones, cholera, muscle aches and also made a brandy from it, which was consumed as a digestive tonic. It was first exported to Europe as a medicine in the early 1800’s.
