I have been talking a lot about nature, now I should start to talk about the natural herbs that we have in our back yard, plants that a lot of us call weeds are herbs that heal the body.
When God made the earth, He made all plant life for the good of man. Plants have been used for centuries to stop sicknesses like headaches, bleeding, broken bones, pain, and so much more.
Sadly, with time we have let the knowledge die with our ancestors. Some have been passed down to the next generation but others have died with their knowledge and wisdom gone forever. So, we are left to learn this knowledge of the plants today, but we have one disadvantage that might help us, and it is our modern technology.
Check out what vitamins or minerals the plant has. Once we find out what it has, we can use it. Write down what your illness is, and then check if it can help you with your symptoms.
There are so many good herbs out there to use that we already know about, those that do some great good for the body, like chamomile. Chamomile helps you to relax and help you sleep, and it’s also good for colic and is good for indigestion. Make it into a tea and add a little honey to sweeten.
Cinnamon is also good it has its sweetness and tastes deliciously made in tea. Cassia Cinnamon is known to help with blood sugar control.
Dandelion which many consider a weed and grows everywhere is very good for the body. Dandelion helps in many ways but you need to be careful where you get it from because many people spray chemicals to kill these very plants. They don’t know the qualities that this herb has, because it’s been known as nothing but an undesirable weed. This plant helps with digestion problems and also makes great wine. I had it once when I was a young lady and it was very good. Wish I had the recipe. Maybe, one of these days I will look up the recipe but I do remember her saying you needed a lot of the herb to make it.
These are just a few of the herbs I mentioned that you can get in the grocery store but the best is still fresh but if you can’t find them then the next best place to go is to an herbal store.
If you take a picture of a plant out in your yard and then go to the Internet, look up southernexposure.com and look for that plant and just try to match it to the plant in the picture that it shows. You just might have a good herb growing in your front or backyard.
Knowing what it can do to keep you feeling great would be the next thing to look up you might be amazed at what people think is a useless weed and in reality, it is a gold mine find.
