Before there were pharmaceuticals to cure what ails us,
there were herbs. There was a time when
families and communities worked together to be self-sufficient with their
health by growing plants that would cure everything from sunburns to
indigestion. In today's society, stress
is the silent killer. Herbs such as chamomile,
lavender and lemon balm can be grown in containers, indoors or outside, and
can be dried to make a relaxing and refreshing tea that will ease stress as
well as aid indigestion, nervousness, headaches and insomnia.
