The Klein Karoo Advantage
A specific climate, characterised by hot temperatures and low rainfall, creates a niche habitat where these plants have adapted to survive and flourish. Additionally, the well-drained, nutrient-poor soils of the Klein Karoo contribute to the development of medicinal plant species with distinct biochemical properties. This region's ecological conditions, including sunlight exposure and minimal competition from other vegetation, further support the growth of native medicinal plants, making it a rich reservoir for traditional herbal remedies.
