CHARACTERISTICS: Vivaz is a grass, of crawling stem that it winds by the surface of the ground emitting many vertical branches, so that when they are dried, always they are left others. Thus, a verónica plant can live many years. The vertical branches do not reach more than 30 cm. The leaves arise from two in two, arranged around the stem, on the ground, and from the vertical branches. The flowers are grouped practically covering a whole branch; they are of bluish color, and they originate a triangular fruit covered with hair, like all the plant. Its flavor is bitter, astringent. One also knows like male verónica and tea Europe.
LOCATION: It lives in Europe, safe in the Mediterranean region, until the 1,000 ms of height, in the scrubs and grounds hair shirts.
In other times a plant with very many virtues was considered; as much it is so, in 1690, Johan Franke, an enthusiastic one of the fitoterapia, consecrated a book to him of 300 pages titled Veronica theezans. In order to understand such esteem by a plant, it would be possible to think that either a confusion with the names has taken place or, the more probably, exceptional environmental conditions at certain times and concrete regions favored the production of active principles.
USES And APPLICATIONS: It is used in infusion, from the dry plant (flowers and leaves with rest of the small branches in where they are inserted). It is enough with a puñadito for a cup. Once cooled, being lukewarm, it can be used to cure wounded and wash eczemas. For it uses internal, like appetizer and digestive, is used the same infusion, but sweetened with honey or sugar.
