Answer 1

Alecrim, Alecrin Dourado

Que nasceu no campo sem ser semeado!........

I'm from Brazil and you just made remember this song from when I was a kid..

But sorry.. I don't know how to say it in english....

EDIT: Actually.. Iguess it's just Alecrim...

EDIT: LOL... Also, It can be found at any nursery. I used to work at one and they had rosemary's but i just had no idea it was alecrim...

Answer 2

The latin name is Rosmarinus Officinalis L., it won't be difficult to find.

It has many therapeutic properties, reinforcing the natural defenses of the body. But it's obviously not a cure, sadly...

I hope your friend feels better, don't give up!
