Las propiedades terapéuticas de la tuna
Las culturas prehispánicas le dieron una gran importancia al uso medicinal de los nopales: para detener el flujo, las semillas de la tuna; la goma o mucílago templaba el calor de los riñones; para eliminar las fiebres ingerían el jugo. La fruta era útil para el exceso de bilis. La pulpa de la tuna y las pencas asadas se usaban como cataplasma. Para el tratamiento de hernia, hígado irritado, úlceras estomacales y erisipela, utilizaban la raíz.
El mucílago o baba del nopal servía para manos y labios partidos. Las pencas mitigan el dolor y curan inflamaciones. Una pequeña plasta curaba el dolor de muelas. La pulpa de las tunas servía para la diarrea. La savia del nopal, contra las fiebres malignas; las pencas descortezadas ayudaban en el parto. Las espinas fueron usadas en la limpieza de infecciones.

The therapeutic properties of the prickly pear
Pre-Hispanic cultures gave great importance to the medicinal use of the prickly pear cactus: to stop bleeding, the seeds of the prickly pear were used; the gum or mucilage cooled heated kidneys; to eliminate fever they drank its juice. The fruit was useful for cases of excess bile. The prickly pear’s pulp and grilled leaves were used as cataplasm. For the treatment of hernias, irritated livers, stomach ulcers and erysipelas, they would use the roots.
The cactus’ mucilage or mucus was used for parched hands or lips. The leaves ease pain and soothe inflammation. A small paste of the fruit provided relief from molar pain. The prickly pears’ pulp was used against diarrhoea. The prickly pear’s sap, against yellow fever; and the skinned leaves aided with birth. The thorns were used in the cleaning of infections.

Extremely experienced proof-reader of English
Having been bilingual from childhood, I have always been aware of the advantages of speaking another language. Having access to several languages is having access to different ways of perceiving the world: for it is partly through language that we convey and materialise our thoughts and ideas. I am fascinated by the insight into a culture that a language can provide, and that is why I am drawn to translation and now learning German.
