The Medicinal Herbs and Plants Of Mexico, A Learning Experience

For thousands of years, natural products have been used for their healing properties. Despite this long history, the FDA has been slow to recognize the effectiveness of many herbs known to ancient civilizations like the Chinese, Indians, and Aztecs. This delay is often attributed to financial interests, as most herbs and plants cannot be traded on Wall Street, making them less profitable despite their potential to save lives, prevent diseases, and slow the aging process. These natural remedies can restore eyesight, correct macular degeneration, and even heal wounds quickly. In Mexico alone, there are over 6,000 types of herbs and plants with the potential to treat a wide range of health conditions, including some considered incurable. We are committed to making these effective treatments accessible to those who need them most. Often, these natural remedies are more affordable than pharmaceutical medications, work just as well or better, and are free from harmful chemicals, dyes, and fragrances. While federal regulations in the US restrict the promotion of natural products, Mexico takes a different approach. Here, the long-standing use of these herbs is recognized, and during the pandemic, we were encouraged to stay open to provide essential products to locals. Our products have been shown to prevent COVID-19, reduce the severity of symptoms, and shorten the duration of illness, although we were not allowed to advertise these benefits due to US regulations promoting vaccines. Our four-hour activity, held at our facility on Cuale Island in the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone, is both informative and enjoyable. Originally designed for cruise ship passengers, it is now open to all visitors. For $79 per person, the activity includes transfers from the passenger pier or your accommodation, chilled bottled water, a delicious lunch, and a gift bag of popular herbal products. During the tour, you’ll learn about various herbs used in healthcare and their benefits, such as curing diseases, preventing aging, restoring hair growth, improving eyesight, and healing wounds. You’ll also discover the importance of a healthy diet and which fruits and vegetables can help maintain a healthy lifestyle. After lunch, you’ll have time to shop with the artisans of Cuale Island, who offer handcrafted items like jewelry, art, clothing, hand-rolled cigars, woven baskets, and delicious food to take home.
