I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua ʻike ka honua i ka ulu ʻana o ka hoihoi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau kūlohelohe. Ma waena o nā mea kanu he nui e ʻimi ʻia nei no ko lākou mau pono olakino, ua puka mai nā lau boldo ma ke ʻano he ʻano hou i ke kahua o ka ho'ōla kūlohelohe.

ʻO Boldo, i ʻike ʻia ʻo Peumus boldus ma ke ʻano ʻepekema, he lāʻau mau loa ia no Chile a loaʻa pinepine ʻia ma nā wahi mahana o ʻAmelika Hema. Ua hoʻohana lōʻihi ʻia kona mau lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻeleʻele e nā kaiāulu ʻōiwi no ko lākou mau waiwai lapaʻau a ke loaʻa nei ka ʻike ʻia ma ka mākeke honua no ko lākou mau pono olakino he nui.

"Ke hoʻomau nei ka piʻi ʻana o ke koi no nā huahana kūlohelohe a me nā huahana organik, a ʻo nā lau boldo ke alo o kēia ʻano," wahi a Kauka Maria Serrano, he mea kanu lāʻau kaulana ma Santiago, Chile. "Me nā waiwai anti-inflammatory, diuretic, a me ka digestive, hāʻawi nā lau boldo i nā pono olakino like ʻole i paʻakikī ke loaʻa i nā lāʻau lapaʻau kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe."

ʻO kekahi o nā pono koʻikoʻi o nā lau boldo ʻo ia ko lākou pono i ka mālama ʻana i nā maʻi ʻōpū mimi (UTI). Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina e hiki i nā mea hana i loko o nā lau boldo ke kōkua i ka hakakā ʻana i nā bacteria nona ke kuleana no nā UTI, e lilo ia i lāʻau lapaʻau kūlohelohe kaulana no ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i nā lāʻau ʻē aʻe no ia mau kūlana.

Eia kekahi, ʻo nā waiwai diuretic o nā lau e lilo ia i koho kūpono no nā poʻe e ʻimi nei e mālama i ke kaulike wai olakino i loko o ke kino a hōʻoluʻolu paha i nā hōʻailona e pili ana i ka paʻa ʻana o ka wai, e like me ka pehu a me ka pehu.

"Ua lilo nā lau Boldo i ʻāpana o kā mākou hana lapaʻau kuʻuna no nā kenekulia," wahi a Kauka Gabriela Sanchez, Luna Hoʻokele o ke Kikowaena Noiʻi Ethnobotanical Chilean. "I kēia manawa, hauʻoli mākou i ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ko lākou hiki ma ka pae honua."

I ka ʻike nui ʻana o ka poʻe i ko lākou olakino a me ke olakino maikaʻi, manaʻo ʻia e ulu ka kaulana o nā lau boldo ma ke ʻano he koho kūlohelohe i nā lāʻau lapaʻau. Me kā lākou hui kūikawā o nā pono olakino a me nā hopena ʻaoʻao liʻiliʻi, hāʻawi lākou i kahi ala palekana a hoʻomau hoʻi i ka mālama ʻana i nā maʻi maʻamau.

No nā mea kūʻai aku e makemake ana e hoʻokomo i nā lau boldo i kā lākou hana maʻamau a i ʻole e aʻo hou e pili ana i kēia mea kanu hoihoi, nui nā mea kūʻai aku pūnaewele kaulana e hāʻawi nei i nā pauka lau boldo kiʻekiʻe, nā kī, a me nā mea hoʻohui.

Ke hoʻomau nei ka noiʻi e wehe i nā noi hou a me nā pono o nā lau boldo, hoʻokahi mea i maopopo - ua mākaukau kēia mea kanu kupaianaha e lilo i mea pāʻani alakaʻi i ka honua o nā lāʻau lapaʻau kūlohelohe a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe.

Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike hou aʻe e pili ana i kēia huahana, e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻokaʻaʻike pololei i kā mākou hui.
