Our ancestors have forged a knowledge of natural remedies over the years, in the present, the development of science and the benefits they have brought in the field of medicine, have gradually displaced the knowledge of medicinal plants.In this work we will extract the knowledge about a medicinal plant of Mexican origin to take advantage of its known properties, incorporating current scientific knowledge to popular applications.
