INTRODUCTIONDIVINE TEA FROM THE CREATORSPlants, infusions, and knowledge of the past, present, and futureBefore there were hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, capsules or modern medicines, human beings were already observing nature.I was looking at the leaves.He touched the bark.He dug in the earth looking for roots and rhizomes.She was collecting flowers.He tasted fruits and seeds.She heated water over the fire and discovered that some plants released aromas, colors, flavors, and substances that could be part of her diet, rituals, and wellness traditions.Thus began one of the oldest stories in human history.THE STORY OF THE PLANT AND THE CUP.For thousands of years, different peoples developed their own knowledge.In China, the leaves ofCamellia sinensisThey gave rise to true tea.In ancient European and Mediterranean cultures, chamomile found a place among the most appreciated infusions.Mint spread among peoples and continents thanks to its intense aroma.In Korea and China, ginseng came to represent strength and vitality.In Asia, ginger and turmeric have been passed down from generation to generation as food, spice, and traditional preparations.In Sri Lanka, generations of harvesters learned to obtain one of the world's most valuable spices hidden beneath the bark of a tree: Ceylon cinnamon.The red calyces of the hibiscus traveled from Africa, eventually transforming into the drink that millions would come to know as Jamaica flower.Lemongrass filled tropical kitchens and gardens with a lemon-like perfume.And in a particular region of South Africa, a small shrub called rooibos would end up producing an infusion known far beyond the Cape Mountains.Each people used what they had around them.Each generation observed.Experiment.He learned.And it transmitted.But this book does not claim that all ancient knowledge was correct.Nor does it claim that modern science already knows all the secrets of plants.Our purpose is different.We want to putTradition and science face to face.Ask:What did our ancestors use?Where does each plant actually come from?Which part did they use?What natural substances does it contain?What has the laboratory discovered?What remains merely a tradition?What preparations can be reasonably made?And which ones require caution?Because there is a huge difference between a plant used as food, a cup of infusion, a concentrated extract, and a molecule isolated inside a laboratory.A teaspoon of an herb is not the same as a concentrated capsule.An essential oil is not the same as a tea.And a tradition thousands of years old is not automatically a proven cure.This distinction will accompany the reader throughout the entire journey.FROM THE PAST TO THE LABORATORYMany modern medicines have a history directly or indirectly related to substances originally found in nature.Therefore, studying a plant does not mean rejecting modern medicine.On the contrary.It means understanding one of the paths that led to her.First there was observation.After tradition.Later came chemistry, botany, pharmacology, and the laboratory.Today we can identify compounds that our ancestors could never name.We can talk about:catechins, curcuminoids, anthocyanins, citral, cinnamaldehyde, ginsenosides, aspalathin and hundreds of other molecules.But behind all those scientific names, there is still a plant.A seed.A sheet.A root.A flower.A bark.And a person who, perhaps thousands of years ago, decided to place it for the first time in hot water.
