10 Herbs to Grow that Heal

May 21, 2015 by Kasi Smith Leave a Comment

Nowadays, with advances in medicine and all sorts of oils and pills, it can be hard to find a medicine you trust that isn’t crazy expensive or a little bit shady. Not only that, but if you’re anything like me you don’t ever have medicine on hand when you need it. Instead of dealing with those problems, grow some herbs that are known to have great medicinal properties. Here are just a few suggestions to help you get started!

10 Healing Herbs You Can Grow

 

Cinnamon

Cinnamon, in responsible amounts, is actually known to lower blood sugar and help deal with cholesterol! While doses vary depending on the person, many people reported feeling better after using cinnamon as a treatment method. Make sure to buy and use water-soluble extract as it helps manage and control the amount that you ingest.

Rosemary

If you love cooked or grilled meat, then consider growing rosemary. It is known to help remove carcinogens found in cooked meat that can be dangerous in high quantities. It has also been used to stop or diminish tumors, which is another great benefit. Just marinate your meats with a little bit of rosemary and that should do the trick!

Garlic

It seems like everything can give us cancer nowadays, so it’s good to find an herb that actually helps lower cancer risk! Garlic not only helps fight cancer, but it also has lots of heart benefits as well. However, in order for it to be effective it needs to be fresh crushed garlic, and you should take about five cloves a day.

Cranberries

Many women reported that, after eating cranberries for four months, they became significantly less likely to suffer from urinary tract infections. Chemicals and nutrients in the cranberries help strengthen the urinary tract and keep the body healthy enough to ward off any infections.
