Sacred Wisdom Rooted in Nature
Traditional Herbs
Wildcrafted & Shade-Dried
A tribute to Dr. Sebi's Legacy
A curated archive of ethnobotanical wisdom accumulated across millennia by indigenous cultures from Central America and the Caribbean.
Forestal MT's Traditional Herbs Collection is a curated botanical archive of Central America and the Caribbean's most significant native and naturalized medicinal plants. This living library embodies ethnobotanical wisdom accumulated over millennia by Miskito, Paya, Lenca, Maya, and Afro-Caribbean communities.
Honduras sits at the ecological crossroads of North American, South American, and Caribbean floristic zones, creating exceptional botanical richness. Cloud forests, tropical lowlands, riparian corridors, and coastal ecosystems host thousands of plant species with documented therapeutic, nutritional, and cultural applications. Much of this pharmacological treasure remains underutilized globally, preserved mainly by traditional healers and herbalists.
Forestal MT bridges this gap by bringing wildcrafted, shade-dried Honduran herbs from forest to the global herbalism community.
