Folk Remedies from Ratna Ling - 2012 Calendar

Ratna Ling Retreat Center is home to a very diverse plant life. Many plants that grow here are purported to have therapeutic properties by practitioners of alternative medicine. Among them, the sage, also known as Virgin Mary’s flower, can be grown in a garden and used every day to purify the spirit. One sage leaf placed in a water bottle is enough to lift the mood. Other herbs, such as fennel, basil, mint, dill, parsley, garlic and lavender, are internationally renowned and used as folk remedies.


Ratna Ling is also a tomato paradise. Enjoyed in international cuisines, the tomato is a fruit full of vitamins and hidden remedies. While tomatoes color the summer and fall, the cabbage grows in winter. It is a veritable panacea, as it can cure about any condition of the body.

Ratna Ling is located in the heart of the redwood forest, the land of the sequoia - a real folk remedy for strength and longevity. Many other trees grow on this land, among which the fir tree is an old remedy used for a variety of diseases. The hawthorn blooms in May, a spectacular vision in pink and an invaluable remedy for the heart.

Herbal medicine, based on traditional folk remedies, is as old as humankind and as widespread as the occurrence of communities. Herbal medicine is based on an intimate and practical knowledge of plants, handed down for hundreds of generations, while acknowledging the unique needs of individuals. While diet, exercise, and increased self-awareness form the foundation of good health, fresh herbal therapy provides one of the key elements in the process of self-care.
