On the island, the Creole community is still a big consumer of "Bon Dieu" herbal teas, made from plants grown in the gardens. It is above all a preventive medicine that promotes the maintenance of good health. But when the disease strikes, we resort to the herbal tea makers. These producers of medicinal plants - some of which are very famous - can then make tailor-made beverages, using rare plants. Sometimes, it happens that religious beliefs and rituals, very present in Creole culture, come to interfere in the prescription of the herbal tea maker.
