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

This is just a basic medicinal list.

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

You should seriously consider specializing in medicinal herbs.
