Comment: "Thanks to all of you, but after looking at your reference Oso, I think yours is the right translation in the context of herbal infusions. Would it be St. John's wort?"

Not only did they leave off the h, they left off the word telling us which herb.

¿yerba (mate)?
Hola. Could be another typo type: a 'y' missing. Yerba Mate, Yerba Mora, Yerba del Toro, etc. La Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguayensis) is very popular in SouthAm and it's called often just "yerba". Check this out: "Mate ...se usa tanto para descansar, apagar la sed, despabilar y hasta ordenar estómagos... En el Río de la Plata, el uso de ésta voz es más restringido es su aceptación de fruto, pues con el nombre de mate sólo se designa la variedad empleada para preparar y servir la infusión de yerba, variedad que se llamó caiguá - recipiente para el agua de la yerba - en guaraní...". Check what the infusion is good for first, if it's "... usado por la medicina popular y empleado en preparaciones herbáreas comerciales como estimulante del sistema nervioso central, como diurético y anti reúmatico" (link 2) we might be onto sth here. If not, then hey! I know now which tea I'll try next week...Luck :-)
