RE: MOTHER NATURES MEDICINE CABINET. A SHORT GUIDE TO WILD MEDICINAL PLANTS.
I am not familiar with most of these plants. We have some willows that I see in the city. I didn't know it has medicinal benefit.
Growing up in the mountains and to parents who came from a family of farmers, natural medicine is not new for me. I have the same comment in one of @joalvarez' posts about medicinal plants. I grew up with books like Healing Wonders of Herbs and Healing Wonders of Water and lately Encyclopedia of Natural Remedies. Although I don't know the content by heart but it comes in handy when we are struck with something. Through the years, these have helped us avoid being hospitalized.
Prevention is better than cure. It helps much more to grow plants in our yard naturally. To have a ready source of such plants in our yard will give us more benefits.
This post gives us additional knowledge that what we consider as weeds and ornamental plants can be a source of remedies too.
I certainly enjoyed sharing so I'm glad it was found as useful. I have never heard of an illness caused by having to much information and though I've spent my entire life wild food foraging as a passion I'm always picking up new bits of info myself. It's not just going out and doing it that's fun, but sharing with others as well. Thank you for stopping by. :)
There is this superiority complex that comes with having too much information lol! Some people tend to be haughty about it :D
That is true. But it's easy to stay humble if the mission is sharing with others. But agreed, some do go over to the dark side of learning. Lol
