Starting A Medicinal Herb Garden

4/26/2020

We’ve all been being a lot more self-sufficient this spring.  Depending on ourselves to take care of lots of different things – healthy food, disinfecting surfaces, keeping our families safe and taking care of minor medical issues.  We have quite a medicinal herb garden at the farm and many of you have expressed interest in starting a medicinal herb garden or adding to the one you have.  Since we weren’t able to hold the class we had planned for April about this very subject, we’re going to share a few insights on this month’s blog about having your own garden of healing herbs.

Having a healing garden in your own yard, brings you closer to the natural cycle of gardening and life.  Planting, growing, harvesting and using herbs for healing becomes more than just a gardening process, it can be a part of daily living.  From the herb tea in the morning, the yarrow poultice to stop that bleeding cut and then the herb bath to soak away the day’s stress, herbs can be a central part of our daily experiences. They certainly are for us and we like to encourage and educate others so they can enjoy herbs daily, too.

There are a few herbs that are like staples to the medicinal garden.  Sage would be one with its many properties as a disinfectant and astringent often used as a remedy for many mouth and throat ills.  Rosemary, another favorite, is regarded as antiseptic and astringent.  Calendula, that flashy gold and yellow flower is considered mild enough even for children.  Comfrey when used appropriately is an effective external remedy for mending wounds and broken bones.  Catnip which has been used traditionally as a calmative.  These herbs could form the basis of your garden.  This is by no means an all-inclusive list, just a useful place to start.
