Speaker: Lillea Hartwell, ND, RH (AHG)
The first part of this lecture was featured in the 2023 Southwest Conference compares and contrast research completed by the speaker when growing herbs frequently used in Mexican Traditional Medicine (MTM). Includes information on how controlled environment agriculture systems could be the future of growing herbs and how to build those systems: aquaponics, nutrient film techniques and aeroponic systems.
In this second part, having identified methods to yield these herbs, we include extensive medicinal uses of specific herbs in the basil (Ocimum spp.) and mint (Mentha spp.) family sourced from historical, clinical and literature accounts of Mexican Traditional Medicine (MTM) & the Native Peoples of the Desert Southwest.
