Herbs

Plants that are also known as herbs, can be beneficial to people for their medicinal and culinary uses around the house. It is easy to create your own herbal teas by using chopped up leaves of mint or lemon balm to make you feel better when you have a cold, or to wake you up in the morning before starting a new day. Sage has been found to stimulate memory, Borage is said to cure hangovers with its fresh cucumber taste, and Bronze Fennel can be used to produce colored dyes in shades of brown, yellow, and green. Sprigs of Wormwood prevent moths from eating your clothes, dried Lavender can assist in sleep, and many flowers can be added to salads and deserts for a delightfully colorful new take on food.
