I began experiencing sharp pain and stiffness in my right hand. This pain always occurs in the morning and may not go away. I thought that I hurt my hand somehow but I could not remember what I did. I also began to experience extreme fatigue and malaise. About 4 months later, I went to the doctor and after many repeat blood tests to rule out Lyme disease and Lupus, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I was adjusting to the medications Plaquenil and methotrexate, but they make me feel sick also. I had a ringing in my ears and loss of appetite. I sometimes had problems writing, dressing, or writing with my right hand.When the medication no longer helps, i was introduced to Health herbal clinic in Johannesburg who have successful herbal treatment to rheumatoid arthritis diseases. I spoke to few people who used the treatment here in United States and they all gave a positive response, so i immediately purchased the rheumatoid arthritis herbal remedy and commenced usage, i used the herbal supplement for only 5 weeks, all symptoms gradually faded away, herbs are truly gift from God. contact this herbal clinic via their email healthherbalclinic @ gmail. com or visit www. healthherbalclinic. weebly. com

Congratulate Evan on his wonderful photo. Flying insects are difficult subjects. I've been making a list of any plants I read about to try growing in the Southern Tablelands/Central West area of NSW. I've created micro-climate gardens in other areas I've lived, with success, and I'm going to try a macadamia here next Spring. These would be a lovely companion plant for it.

Fabulous! It's just such a wonderful plant in so many ways, and I am always amazed at how many bees are on it every day.

Thx to your cuttings I have several holy basils around my garden & they're always humming with bees. Even when nothing else is in flower the holy basil just keeps flowering & giving out its gorgeous smell.

I think you should take it inside in a cold winter. It's a perennial in warmer climates, but an annual in cold and temperate climates.

Beautiful photo! My little native bees love the flowers of basil though I haven't grown this kind before. I will hunt down some cuttings and plant it for them. Meg:)
