Medicinal plants are essential in a garden and have many advantages for both us and our vegetables. In addition, they are very easy to grow and very resistant to both diseases and pests.

Mate is one of those plants that is very well known, especially in some parts of the world. In others, you may not have any idea what I am talking about. I first tried mate because of some Argentine friends I met who drank it all the time. I have to say that I didn't like it at all and I still don't. I am more of a coffee drinker.
But beyond anecdotes or personal tastes, Mate or Mate herb is a plant with great medicinal properties and that is the reason why it is so popular.
It is an antioxidant that helps our immune system and, like tea or coffee, it is a powerful stimulant. This improves our appetite and also improves our physical activity.
Another lesser-known property of mate is that it helps lower cholesterol.
So if you like it, enjoy a good mate that is really healthy.
