Hibiscus Sabdariffa, Saffron and Ginger for Holistic Health Treatment
This project aims to cultivate hibiscus sabdariffa, saffron and ginger in Domiz 2 Camp in Dohuk, Kurdish region of Iraq and produce herbal tea products from these plants that will allow for the natural treatment of various diseases such as hypertension. This work is inspired by medical research conducted by the Antenna Foundation in Iraq. Members of the camp community will not only benefit from improved health through these natural treatments, but disadvantaged refugees living in the camp will be able build a livelihood through specialized training and the foundations of a sustainable micro-enterprise. This project will also enable reforestation through the introduction of new environmentally-friendly plants with long-term yields of useful health products and the possibility to expand this scope in the future.
