The power of plants
To tolerate the extremely dry conditions of its natural habitat, the mountains of West and South Africa, myrothamnus has developed an amazing survival strategy called reviviscence. In the dry season, during the process of dessication and apparent “death”, the plant’s cells produce a sugary substance known as trehalose which allows them to rehydrate and restart their activities as soon as the first rains fall. In traditional medicine, myrothamnus is used for its toning, revitalizing and soothing benefits.
