Historically, herbal medicine and the natural 
	world were the only healing tools available;
	and most people had knowledge of common 
	healing plants.

	Herbs are not only a source for treating 
	disease they are also a source for promoting 
	health. Our ancestors ingested a wide diversity 
	of plants which strengthened their systems. 

	Natural remedies are quite possibly the most 
	important for the rural poor. Kokoro has begun 
	to catalog this information, plant specific 
	medicinal plants and is developing programs to 
	educate the local area on common remedies. 
	There is a small clinic space in the planning. 


	In the future we would like to be able to 
	distribute free medicinal plants from our 
	nursery  and  to provide the education 
	nessesary to harvest and use them. 

	Projects coming up:
		Herb gardens
		Propagation of medicinal  plants 
		Researching and cataloging local 
			herbal remedies.
