Nothing like starting off the week with two things I
enjoy: gardening and natural
medicines!
Today I’d like to point you to www.medicinalplants-pharmacognosy.com,
where they offer information on a variety of medicinal plants. Click HERE.
Today I was looking at mint, specifically
spearmint. I grow spearmint in my herb
garden and I’ve found that when I have a headache, I pinch off several leaves
and just rub them into my forehead temples and at the base of my neck and it
really helps alleviate the pain. Chew a
few leaves (after washing, of course) for fresh breath and as an aid in
digestive problems, or make a cup of mint tea by just putting a few leaves in
your cup and pouring boiling water over them, letting them steep for a few
minutes. And who wouldn’t love fresh
mint from your own herb garden when making a mojito?
Mint is very easy to grow… in fact, you
generally need to plant it within a container or before you know it, it will
take over!
I encourage you to exercise your green thumb and check the
site out today! Enjoy your week!
Blessings,
