Healing herbs are all around us; in our gardens, underfoot, and in the forest. Many garden plants, both ornamental and edible, have evolved from wild ancestors and still carry the medicinal properties that make these wild herbs unique. Familiar plants like roses and calendula are widely recognized and used across the globe.
But there are many other well-known plants with medicinal benefits. For instance, peony root can help with inflammation and pain, particularly in pelvic organs, while hops can alleviate anxiety, insomnia, and help regulate estrogen levels. Hydrangea root bark, stinging nettle root, and goldenrod tops are effective remedies for prostate enlargement. Even common weeds can be beneficial. Plantain can soothe coughs and insect stings, and dandelion root is great for stimulating the liver and bowel.
