Elder in Azeributza
The plant genus of Azeribuztana (Equisetum) is related to the founding times of our world. In the Devonian era of the Paleozoic, about 400 million years ago, their relatives lived. Shortly afterwards, in the Carbonífero, about 300 million years ago, the giants of the Azeribuzta were the owners of the forests, up to 30 meters. The origin of coal, oil and gas that we are burning and burning today is found in the plants of these forests. Also in Azeribuzta.
And their descendants, the Equisetum, still live. The name Equisetum comes from the Latin words equi (mare) and seta (zurda). In its form, this genus of plants has been related to the tails: astobuztana, mandobuztana, xagubuztana, arratoibuztana, muskerbuztana, mandabuztana, zamaribuztana, moxalbuztana, charcutana, toro, yescarabeña... There are many different lines in the languages around us.
It is also known as “torneros queue”. The one who practices the factory lathe or the one who practices the house lathe of the nuns of the districts, who is that tornero who has given it its name? Oh my God!
Azeribuztana has many curious names. We have always lived by your side, for we are. Whenever we've needed it's been there, because its silica crystals on the skin make miracles, authentic. It is a common medicinal herb, which should be used with caution, and above all well identified: in the azeribuja there is more than one, and not all have, by far, the same effect. It is also a food: for the Japanese the wild herb is appreciated; in Europe the new spring shakes are eaten like asparagus, they are fed into eggs and fried with oil vinegar, and can also be found in soups and sauces. It is also widely used in cosmetics to palliate wrinkles that occur in the neck area, at the corner of the ear, at the edges of the lips and eyelids and everywhere. This is a predominant aspect, keeping the collagen of the tissues that holds the skin more upright. It's also polishing other surfaces. As esparto a piece of plant is taken and the pieces of glass and metal are rubbed. It cleans and smoothes the bronze, the copper, the silver, the tin, etc. It is called “tin” and in Spanish “limpiaplata”. Luthieres love it, and they say that wood softens gently.
It has small, hairy leaves on the bottom and extends the head between 20 and 40 cm. It's known as Bulgarian Viagra, Scarid Sideritis. It's a blue-like plant, because its hair gives it a bluish color. It lives in the rocky spots of the high mountains and everyone who has lived in... [+]
