Since human beings began to write their history on Earth, plants are part of their lives being used for decorative, aromatic and even medicinal purposes. The ancients avoided many diseases – or treated them quickly – because they were aware of the beneficial effect that many plants could bring to the body, where each one was known to combat certain diseases. It is essential to know that certain plants can alleviate symptoms of any disease you are suffering, without harming you.
One of these plants is Guinea, also known as true tipi, tipi, tame Senhor and eva de pipi. Its scientific name is Petiveia alliacea and as an adult it is capable of measuring up to one meter in height. Its leaves are smooth and uncut, the flowers are greenish and small, in the shape of an ear. With a strong and unmistakable aroma, the guinea plant was used at the time of slavery in religious rituals and smoking.
