The Healing Power of Mountain Herbs
Description
People use local mountain herbs to treat various illnesses. Among them tumbruk is very famous but makhoting is also used. These and other herbs are extremely beneficial for people’s health but can also be dangerous due to their potent properties. If used as medicine, they are very beneficial, but if used as poison, they can be very dan-gerous. The fragrance of these herbs causes sneezing in passing animals, making them run away from the area. In some places, they cause dizziness, while in others, they provide relief and comfort. People from village Sermik bring plants from the mountains, such as skiorbu and balakson. These are mountain delicacies, and in return, we give the local people apricots, apples, tomatoes, and onions that do not grow up in the mountains. If you have stomach pain, use tumbruk. If you suffer from cold and constant illness due to it, use shamdu. Eating shamdun helps people with respiratory issues. If you drink the juice of the flower of makhotang or boil it and drink the water, it can heal you.
