So I am thinking once we make this long move of ours about setting up some herb boxes. I want the ones I use a lot, like basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme and such but I think I also want some that are more medicinal. Like allspice is great for the common cold, or aloe that is used for many things besides sunburns. I think that knowing more about herbs and knowing different ways to use them medicinally is a good thing for any family working on preparedness.
What are your favorite herbs for food or for medicine?

We love comments! We are happy to answer questions, join in debate and conversation, or just say hi. All we ask is for respect. Respect us and others. Keep it civil. Obviously we aren't afraid of cussing but we don't like anyone degraded or invalidated.
We also know we make mistakes. Feel free to call us out. You can't improve things that need it if you aren't aware of it.
If you have an opinion share it but know if it is going to cause hurt to someone we care about we will not approve it.
Most of all have fun!!

Comfrey is awesome for bruises or cuts. Peppermint smells good and is great for bellyaches; can also be used in cooking. I have tons more, call me lol.
ReplyDeletelike Gracie said, peppermint is great for tummy aches and also for nausea. I used aloe on the Boys gums after a family friend/doctor recommended it, and although it had a bitter taste it worked like a charm.
