Take only what regrows

Many Nepali medicine plants are disappearing because every last one gets dug up. There is a way to gather that leaves the plant alive.

How to do it

  1. 01

    Never take a plant that is flowering or carrying seed — that one is making next year.

  2. 02

    Take leaves or bark, not the whole root, whenever the medicine allows it.

  3. 03

    Leave at least two out of every three plants standing.

  4. 04

    Move to a different patch each season so no place is stripped bare.

  5. 05

    Ask an elder how it was gathered before. They usually know the rule already.
