He turned his curiosity about herbs into a life project
Gabriela Quiroga transformed her life by moving from urban chaos to Ingeniero Maschwitz, where she discovered the medicinal properties of herbs and started a herbal blends business.
Thirty years ago, Gabriela Quiroga felt overwhelmed by the constant noise and stress of city life, prompting her to move to Ingeniero Maschwitz in search of nature. In her new environment, amidst living soil and open skies, she found a space that became her learning center, workplace, and passion. As a history teacher and tango instructor, her life took an unexpected turn when she recognized the healing potential of the plants growing in her own garden.
Her journey began with a simple observation of plant growth, which led to a profound realization about nature's medicinal offerings. Gabriela noted that she could heal her family with her home-grown herbs, shifting her focus from teaching history and dance to exploring ancestral knowledge and the spontaneous herbs surrounding her.
