In Colombia there are two plants that are called wadding and bird. Both are for medicinal use. The bird, is a parasitic plant is used in homoeopathy among other things to increase defenses Its scientific name is Viscum album. It is also called visco, Holly and mistletoe. It is the family Santalaceae. Wadding is another name given to the dandelion is a plant of the family Asteraceae which has medicinal uses. In Chile there are several medicinal plants called wadding and there wadding of lizard, pig wadding and padding bird, all are medicinal and the family Asteraceae.
Surely the query is if bird wadding or guatepajarito is a medicinal plant. Always is someone who takes a tea of anything (p. ex.) a wadding) and says that it cured him of something, but the question must be specialized and supervised by a doctor, so somewhere there is someone who take the blame if we end up poisoned always.
The expression is not a Word, but a phrase, one of whose words are misspelled by error checker, typical of a keyboard that has the "s" beside the "a". Where it says "wadding" should read "like". The meaning is that of a phrase in conditional expression: "If a plant like a bird, that means that it is a medicinal plant". The phrase is correct, from the grammatical point of view, but the statement is not true. Birds have favorite foods, which are not strictly "medicinal". Wheat is one of the favorite foods of the birds and, however, cannot be considered "medicinal". It is good; is healthy; but it is not "medicinal". With regard to the type of foods mentioned in the context as "antioxidants", it is necessary to clarify that a product "anrtioxidante" is highly healthy, but neither can be considered strictly medicinal. It is a product that reduces the tiredness and fatigue of the physical body and is even very healthy to restore the vitality of cells, and their ability to keep young. It is an excellent food supplement, but it is not a medicine. Among the fruits that have this high antioxidant component, are strawberries, raspberries and, especially, the cranberries, also known by its medieval name "sloe" wild fruit. Birds, certainly, know that these fruits are very healthy for the body of any land animal. They eat it; I like them. But it is not of medicinal product.
