PUGU

Pugu is the sun god of the Yukaghirs, a people of northeastern Siberia, heir to the hunter-gatherer culture, who continues to resist sedentarization. Each year, they carry out long transhumances with their reindeer and harvest the ingredients they find on the way to sustain themselves and develop their pharmacopoeia, in particular to resist the depressing lack of sun. Here: Siberian apples and pine needles, bergenia leaves, St. John's wort, marjoram and yarrow combine in a soothing, anti-depressant and regulating digestive disorders infusion.

Julia's explanations:

“Pugu is a very aromatic infusion, which takes us for a walk in the middle of the Siberian forests. And for good reason, I put 65% of the famous endemic pine of Siberia, the "pinus sibirica", in the form of both apples and needles, excellent for health. The Yukaghirs have always made great use of it, especially since they find it all around them during their travels.

I further boosted the benefits of Pugu by adding bergenia (with antibacterial effects which make it similar to a "natural antibiotic"), St. John's wort (known to help treat psychosomatic disorders, anxiety, digestive and feminine disorders), marjoram and achilea (both renowned for being equally relaxing, digestive and relieving painful periods), and finally mint (more for its good taste than for its undeniable benefits, because in this recipe the quantity is too low for mint).

All these plants are consumed as infusions in an ancestral way in Siberia, the secrets of their effectiveness being passed down from generation to generation. I hope I have been faithful to the spirit of this recipe, which I also wanted to be delicious. »
