Dinah Veeris smashes an oregano plant to extract juice in her garden Den Paradera in Willemstad on Curacao Island June 18, 2008. For years Dinah Veeris ignored the traditional Caribbean medicine of her native Curacao, but since 1994 Veeris opened a garden outside the capital of Willemstad to preserve herbal medicine and local traditions.
