I'm thrilled! At last, after many days of free, look at the computer ... I could identify this plant from the photo, which is so abundant in this area. It is beautiful because the flowers are blue ranging from deep purplish red you see a alegrÃsimo. Classify the books had only been reached to determine it was a Boraginaceae. That certainly is a super nice family of plants, furry and medicinal them most, and is represented by numerous species in this area.
As this plant is called Lithodora fruticosa, herb known as the 7 bleeding, bloody and Aspro in Catalan. The plant is medicinal, but is not widely used today, and the substances it contains are poorly studied. Was used to remedy the unpleasant symptoms experienced by people who had very high blood pressure, formerly, to lower blood pressure, used the method of bleeding, expedited it, which consisted of cutting a blood vessel and allow blood to flow out of the body, so that the person's blood pressure fell to lower the circulating volume. With an infusion of this herb-like effects were achieved without resorting to such drastic methods.
These internal uses of plants, if they are not explained by someone they know well, I seem somewhat risky. I like the external use which have been traditionally shepherds, an infusion of flowers aspro used to heal wounds and sores on the skin of cattle. To save the plant and use it in time that is not in bloom, are collected and flowering tips are dried, but not direct sun, but in a shady place. Once dry, can be stored in a boat, and to use them, you have to make tea with a teaspoon of dried flowers in a pint of water, approximately. Wash their wounds or sores two or three times a day.
