Herb Medicinal Use

Well - herb medicinal use - here we have the 12 most useful herbs that you could need for your herbal remedy garden.

You may have some of these growing in your garden already - you may or may not know how to use them or what to use them for.

There are instructions for some of these herbs in the section at 'Growing Herbs' on the navbar. Scroll down for the alphabetical list of links - it's a 'work in progress' so more will be added as I build the site.

I have just bought this book on natural remedies - it's an excellent read and very comprehensive.

Echinacea

Milk Thistle

Peppermint

Yarrow

German Chamomile

St. Johnswort

Burdock

Fever Few

Lemon Balm

Valerian

Cayenne

Astragalus (Chinese Milkvetch)

You could just buy ready grown plants from your local nursery, but it's good to grow from seed where you can.

There are many herb seeds in a packet, which means you could grow them and maybe it will be the start of your growing herbs for profit

It would be lovely to have a herb nursery and to have all these specialist herbs in stock, would give you the advantage above those nurseries which just carried culinary herbs.

Of course, some herbs have medicinal, cosmetic and culinary uses - Rosemary, sage, thyme, garlic to name a few - but the list above will give you additional herbs.

For an explanation of gardening terms that you might not understand, please check out the Growers Dictionary section.

I found that I was either skimping on explanations or giving too much information on the individual pages so I have posted all relevant terms in one section - if there's anything you need to know, please drop me an email.
