Episode Details

I've been thinking so much about the things that are so close to us, so ubiquitous,  that we decide to erase them completely. 

Octavio Paz, our literature nobel prize,  explores this intensively in his famous book "The Labyrinth of Solitude". 

He talks about "Ningunear", which is the act of making someone, no one. 

We've done this to so many Mexican products. but a group that I believe has been  ninguneado like no other, are the thousands of traditional herbs that are still used today   for making delicious infusions. 

Without further adieu please welcome Monica Favila, and her love for all glorious herbs and teas.
