Life’s interesting. The Bible itself advises us that the ‘greens’ of the earth are the best for our health. Yet it is often a wonder on the number of Jamaicans who really are clueless to the ‘green gold’ of the island. It is surprising because Jamaica is one country known for growing its youth on the Bible and faith. So many medicinal qualities and elements have been proven to exist in the green herbs – what Jamaicans sometimes call bush, wild bush – it seems that everything growing Jamaica is good for something. Here is a quick chart of herbs growing on Jamaican soil, their uses.

The list is not exhausted. Many are the scientists, professors and doctors who have come to Jamaica’s shores, traveling across the island to make purchase of most if not all of these herbs or ‘bushes’ so often rejected by natives of the island. Even more interesting is the fact that trees and shrubs often contain many different medicinal purposes depending on the section used. For example seeds, leaves, roots, veins, ‘fruits’ usually carry different medicinal uses.

Hello. I would like to know what would I used for high blood pressure
There are many herbs in Jamaica that are said to cure cancer .I have yet to see the individual that uses these herb only and get results such as a complete cure. However I have seen individuals who uses these herbs and have changed their diet and have gotten great results.
Cancer thrive well in individuals who eat meat. ,fish, uses lots of sugar, eat white denatured foods, lots of cheese fats and oil.
If you wants these herbs to work well for you take out the above foods from your diet. drinks lots of water ,fruits and vegetables.
Include nuts and grains but do not use as mus as the above. Get rest exercise and sunshine.But most of all trust in the Devin Healer The Almighty He alone has the ability to heal. ask him
