There is a plant in Brazil that is used as a remedy for indians here, for many centuries ago. Chinese came to Brazil and , consciously, led seeds and seedlings and some knowledge of the local "caciques" of the tribes. Back to China.. They manipuladed the knowledge and plants and have done a remedy that is the same used by our indigenous. I can not believe that..: China wants that Brazil pay for using the plants as a remedy!!!!! This plant is originating from Brazil and has always been used as a remedy for the indians and all houses. Is not an absurd???

IMHO I can see why you're so enraged. It certainly sounds absurd to me. Is there any recourse for you, other Brazilians. BTW What is the name of the herb. I am very interested in herbal medicine.

many herbs are being taken out of Brazil..with view to medicinal trade..And using indigenous knowledge and popular brazilian. Also are withdraw from Brazil many semi-precious stones that lead aliens illegally to sell to major industries of Jewels. They has no documentation , pay little for them and dont pay taxes.
