Biophilia is defined as the innate human instinct to connect with nature and living beings; it's more than philosophy, it supports my cognitive function, health, and well-being.
As a Brazilian, having indigenous and African grandparents, the connection with nature was the basis of my upbringing. My mother inherited from her parents the way of cooking, curing diseases, taking care of skin and hair using natural ingredients. These herbs were planted in our own backyard or traded with neighbors.
