Growing your own medicinal herb garden can be extremely
beneficial to your household, especially if you’re working towards making the
switch to more natural products and remedies. Before the advancements in modern medicine,
people have been surviving off of herbal remedies for thousands of years and
with all of the chemicals and unknown substances being added into products,
some believe that reverting back to more natural forms of medications is the
way to go.
When starting your own herb garden, it’s important to keep
things simple and manageable in the beginning. Some herbs can be very delicate
to grow and taking on too much at one time can cause your garden to fail. Start
out with 4 or 5 plants such as Echinacea, chamomile, and peppermint and as you
see success in your garden, you can begin to add more and experiment with
expanding your garden to vegetables and flowers.
If you can, consult with other gardeners in your area to
learn about what grows best in your region. Certain temperatures may impact
what will and won’t grow well in a backyard or windowsill garden. For more
invasive medicinal herbs such as comfrey and yarrow, invest in pots so that
they don’t take over the rest of your garden.
