It grows in dry and arid places around the mountains and is an important fodder. “Malotíra” is collected in July, during the period of its flowering. In ancient times the name “siderítis” was referring generally to the ability of healing wounds caused by metal objects. The word “malotíra” comes from the Venetian period in Crete (male = illness, tirare = drag). Its tea is used again colds, as a medicine for the stomach and also as diuretic. Try it with honey!]]> 2019-03-17 18:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/carissimad/rg4uunn2p3qv/wish/342154261 carissimad https://padlet.com/carissimad/rg4uunn2p3qv/wish/342154404 “Díktamo” is also an endemic herb of Crete called “Erontas” or “stomach herb”. It is known since ancient times and was used in the cure of stomach ache and the healing of wounds, as it is mentioned by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. It is said that when the wild animals are injured, they rub their sore on the plant and it is healed right away.  “Díktamo” grows on steep slopes and cliffs, so its collection is quite dangerous. It grows and is collected during the summer months. Today, we drink it mainly as a beverage but it is also used in making other beverages.]]> 2019-03-17 18:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/carissimad/rg4uunn2p3qv/wish/342154404 carissimad https://padlet.com/carissimad/rg4uunn2p3qv/wish/342155254 Tropical Andean trees migrate to higher altitudes where the air is cool enough to support their existence. Due to the fast climatic change they have to move faster in order to remain in equilibrium with their preferred temperature.]]> 2019-03-17 18:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/carissimad/rg4uunn2p3qv/wish/342155254
