Film #13: My Medicinal Garden: 7 Super Plants For A Delicious Common Cold Remedy
This 9 minute film (click link below to watch) shows how to simply make a super delicious cold remedy from easy-to-grow plants in the garden. I love that my medicine cabinet is in my kitchen garden surrounding my house and that I can just go outside and pluck fresh herbs and leaves with superb vitality to help sooth a cough and cold when I need it for me and my family.
There are so many great herbs to use in each climatic region. Here at this time of year, some great ones are:
- lemon myrtle
- peppermint
- menthol mint
- oregano
- sacred basil
- turmeric
- ginger
Today, I also added organic cinnamon and some raw honey to the blend – mmmm ….delicious and very soothing. Just what I need right now.
I’ve written about the brew I made yesterday and listed a few additional plants – lemon, orange peel, lemon balm, thyme. Each brew I make is slightly different which keeps it interesting.
What is your favourite cold remedy from your garden?
