Yerba Mansa: Herbal Benefits for Respiratory, Digestive, and Inflammatory Support
Yerba Mansa Anemopsis californica.
Used as a medicine for colds, wounds and gastrointestinal issues by the Cahuilla, Isleta, Tubatulabal, Kawaiisu, Shoshoni people of North America. One of the most bodacious botanicals we get the privilege to work with. Yerba Mansa graces the Herb’s the Word potions for its supportive effect on the gums, and the All Salve for its soothing properties to the skin.
If you live in CA or in the Southwest, PLANT THIS PLANT! Yerba Mansa is beeeeuatiful, and this plant’s wild natural habitat is shrinking.
