Obtaining a medicinal herb garden vault and a vegetable seed vault enables people to grow their own plants and become more independent and self-reliant.
Nashville, Tenn. United States / ACCESSWIRE / August 23rd, 2014 / Long before there were doctors and nurses, herbs were used for medicinal purposes. Herbal medicine can’t replace conventional medicine – especially in life-threatening situations – but it has proven to be highly effective and affordable for dealing with the prevention and treatment of day-to-day, non-emergency health issues.
According to a recent article in the Burlington (Vermont) Free Press, local farmers are saying that the nation’s demand for organic herbs is outpacing local production. Local organic farmers Melanie and Jeff Carpenter say they’ve built their medicinal herb business from 100 pounds 16 years ago to two tons today.
Below is a list of 10 medicinal herbs and some of the conditions they are said to treat.
Anise – It has been suggested to use Anise as a diuretic and/or a laxative. It has been used to treat menstrual cramps and to prevent the formation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract. It’s said to make one’s breath fresher and to reduce pain.
Chamomile – This herb is said to be effective in controlling nervousness, insomnia, nausea, earache, asthma, headaches, fevers, arthritis and hay fever. It also works on indigestion, heartburn, gas, diarrhea, upper respiratory irritation and teething pain in babies.
