Abstract

Objective: to demonstrate a parallelism between some medicinal plants and other remedies mentioned in Martí's Campaign Diary and their current applications. Method: a review of different historical texts related to the subject was carried out, as well as web site portals. Conclusions: José Martí's Campaign Diary is a description of the Cuban fields, of its natural remedies, many of which have been transmitted from generation to generation as part of the validity and continuity of our revolutionary process.
