I want to tell you about South Africa's Miracle Herb. Buchu is an evergreen, flowering shrub. It forms part of the Capes fynbos plant kingdom. The use of Buchu was first documented by the Dutch colonists in Cape Town as far back as 1652, and prior to that, the indigenous Khoisan people used it for its medicinal and anti-ageing properties. Buchu was even used during the Crimean and First World Wars as an antiseptic to clean battlefield wounds.
