All natural aromatherapy products from your own garden!

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.
