Medicinal Plants

Medicinal Plants. . , Plants often have strong chemical weapons stored in their roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds. They rely on these toxins to protect themselves from pests. Even thousands of years ago humans discovered that when some of these toxic plants are taken in a proper amount they heal instead of harm., Some commonly used medicinal plants are Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) to soothe stomachs and ease sleep, Sage (Salvia sp.) to clean wounds and protect from infestation, and Mugwort (Artemisia argiy), to aid with liver, blood, and circulation issues., Since many medicinal plants can also be poisonous, please do not pick or eat any plants growing at the garden.
