Growing and Enjoying Fresh Herbs at Home

Herbs are plants that have historical and cultural uses in medicine, cooking, and decoration. The leaves, stalks, and flowers of these plants are often what set them apart from others because of the medicinal and gastronomic ingredients they contain.
Numerous ancient societies made extensive use of herbs. They are well-known for their curative and preventative effects on health and wellness issues. Chamomile, lavender, peppermint, sage, thyme, and rosemary are just some of the most popular herbs.
Teas, infusions, tinctures, extracts, essential oils, and culinary use are just some of the many applications for herbs. Creams, ointments, and poultices containing them are another option for external application.
Some plants may interact with prescription drugs or cause side effects in some people, so it is best to check with a doctor before using them medicinally.
