Larrea plays a central role in the healing practices of most of the Native American people of the southwest United States. Many tribal healers have used Larrea almost exclusively as their “medicine chest” plant for a wide variety of medical conditions. For at least one tribe, the Pima, Larrea is so important as a healing plant that it plays a central role in their creation story. The story goes that Larrea was the first plant created by the Earth Maker shortly after he created earth itself from soil and His sweat. Larrea was the Earth Maker’s gift to people, realizing that the Earth would often be a harsh place to live, to help them sustain their health.
In at least two ways, the beliefs of the Native Americans have been validated by modern science. First, medical research has borne out the fact Larrea has a unique set of natural chemicals that have a wide range of therapeutic uses. Also, Larrea has been determined by modern scientific techniques to be the longest-lived plant on the planet. Extremely healthy Larrea plants have been identified which are 12,000 years old. There is no telling how long these plants will ultimately live; possibly many times their current age. All the living Larrea plants that exist today will almost certainly outlast all of us just as they have outlived generations of our ancestors before us…transporting their powerful medicine through time.
