Materiales sostenibles a base de plantas medicinales
La medicina herbal con efectos curativos y los biomateriales reciclables son aspectos de la investigación en los que he indagado. Utilizo hierbas aromáticas, que proceden de las plantas, centrándome en el uso de dos tipos de hierbas medicinales: Pogostemon Cablin, Herba Eupatorii y aquafaba (líquido de los granos) , algas marinas, azúcar glas y otros materiales para fabricar productos, como el guante y el envase que he elaborado. Según la característica antifúngica de las hierbas medicinales, tienen el efecto de curar la Tinea manuum, que es una infección por dermatofitos de una o ambas manos.
