Venezuela – Herbal News and Natural Remedies
If you’re curious about the plant‑based wisdom coming out of Venezuela, you’re in the right spot. This page pulls together the freshest stories, research findings, and practitioner tips that matter to anyone interested in natural health.
What’s Growing in Venezuela’s Forests?
Venezuela’s tropical climate nurtures a huge variety of medicinal plants. From the heart‑warming guayusa tea that boosts energy to the anti‑inflammatory power of copaiba resin, locals have been using these botanicals for generations. Recent field studies, published by the Universidad Central de Venezuela, show that the essential oil of Andiroba can help soothe skin irritations faster than many synthetic creams.
How South African Readers Can Benefit
We see a lot of overlap between Venezuelan and South African herbal traditions. Both regions rely on adaptogenic roots, like rhodiola and suma, to handle stress. If you’re looking to expand your home remedy cabinet, try swapping a locally sourced herb with its Venezuelan counterpart. For example, guaco (a vine rich in coumarin) works great for respiratory relief, similar to the South African rooibos infusion.
Practitioners in South Africa are already importing dried cacao leaves and camu camu powder to create antioxidant‑rich tonics. The key is to source from reputable growers who follow fair‑trade practices—this ensures the plants retain their potency and you support local communities.
Want to try a quick Venezuelan recipe? Mix boiled guayusa leaves with a splash of honey and a squeeze of lime. It’s a simple drink that sharpens focus without the crash of coffee. Another favourite is a decoction of copaiba bark, which, when taken daily, can help keep joint pain at bay.

F-35 jets arrive in Puerto Rico as Washington turns up pressure on Maduro
Six F-35B stealth jets have deployed to Puerto Rico, reinforcing a large U.S. counter-narcotics push in the Caribbean that also signals pressure on Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. The aircraft joined an amphibious group with thousands of sailors and Marines. Officials say the mission targets cartels, but analysts see deterrence at play. The move raises questions about costs, rules of engagement, and regional risk.
