IF YOU’D LIKE TO GROW YOUR OWN MEDICINAL HERBS…
Some of the best herbs to grow (or forage) for medicinal purposes are:
- Thyme
- Purple-flowered oregano (origanum vulgare)
- Echinacea angustifolia
- Calendula
- Oats (for depression and adrenal fatigue; a 2-by-4-foot area will grow enough for a family for at least a year)
- Alfalfa
- Comfrey
- Garlic
- Onion
- John’s Wort
- Dandelion
- Plantain
- Burdock
- Nettle
- Violet
- Mallow (wild or marsh),
- Elder (elderberry)
- Purslane
- Plantain
- Tulsi (Indian basil or sacred basil)
- Lemon balm
- Mullein
- Rugosa rose, dog rose, wild rose
- Cayenne (It must be over 90,000 heat units)
Although not cayenne peppers, Habaneros and other hot peppers would also probably work.
- Hot Peppers – Fedco Seeds
- Strictly Medicinal Seeds:
- lsatis/Woad is a broad-spectrum antiviral. Seed available at Pinetree Garden Seeds
- Licorice is a synergistic herb that is used whenever taking the other herbs because it helps them to work more effectively. Licorice is very difficult to grow, and it takes 4 years to get usable roots. But for those who’d like to try it, Strictly Medicinals and Richter’s carry seeds and plants.
- Cryptolepis is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that cannot be grown in most of North America. It can be purchased at Herbs (herbies-herbs.com) and Monteagle Herbs
