Is anyone planting a medicinal herb garden with stuff like chamomile, echinacea and St. John's Wort in it? My neighbor and I are becoming interested in assorted herbs for medicinial use (no, not THAT herb, just the old traditional herbal medicine ones). At the moment we are still compiling a list of the ones we want to grow and then we will have to find seeds, starts or if we can even grow it here at all.
Does anyone know if the health food store in Pahoa has bulk herbs? We've already found quite a few of the herbs we are looking for at the other health food stores, we just haven't made it out to the one in Pahoa yet. It is much better to grow the herbs and use them fresh, but until we get our herbal gardens growing, the dry stuff will have to do.
We have a recipe for cough tea which is hyssop, elecampane, plantain and mullein and it seems to work pretty well. Plantain is a "weed" in most lawns and mullein is another found everywhere weed. The hyssop and elecampane will have to be grown or bought.
