Thank you for watching! What’s your favourite medicinal plant?

[@Bigmouth660]

Mint . It helps with so many things.

[@cynthiaschorr553]

Lovage is a favorite and Fenugreek tea, daily, 44 years worth.

[@Fritz0616]

Thank you.. you're so correct on the feeling of self gratitude of making your own medicines, salves, tinctures. I love growing and foraging medicinal as well as edible foods after all food is our medicine.

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

It sure is! “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”

Love this! And to answer your question, I use elderberry the most but look forward to adding more

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

I love elderberry!

[@jo1808]

Tulsi or Holy Basil. Totally body herb with a mild yet peppery taste.

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

I’ve heard so much another tulsi! I wanted to grow it this year, but I started the seeds too late. Next year!

[@jennifernolen8111]

St John's wort, echinacea, and Valerian are the herbs we use the most. We love growing medicinal herbs.

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

I’d really like to start growing valerian this year. I just need to figure out where to put it! So many plants, so little room 😂

[@carolineleiden]

Remember: so many plants ar killers. Try a cup of hemlock tea, and you will not tell the tale....

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

Of course! Plants are powerful and some are lethal. I’m not telling anyone to plant hemlock in their garden though 😉
