THE BUSH DOCTOR'S PHARMACY®
Suriname's traditional medicine is many centuries old and based on the knowledge of the indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest, the Amerindians and Maroons and on that of the Asian immigrants.
In Suriname's traditional medicine there are about a thousand (1,000) plants and herbs used to cure everything, from hepatitis to rash.
For your reference we have compiled a database in which you will find information about the plants and herbs as well the applications in Suriname's traditional medicine.
The database is always under construction, since it is updated and extended all the time!
If you have specific questions about it and the applications of the plants and herbs, please do not hesitate to send us an e-mail.
To check-out the growing conditions concerning minimum temperature in your area, go to the USDA - and the AHS website.
