Grow your own drugs

Plants are often misunderstood, they are not just ornamental objects to brighten up your garden. Those pretty little plants actually contain various substances, which the human race has used for pharmaceutical purposes for hundreds of years! 
 

You’re probably used to seeing or buying herbal teas to aid digestion or make yourself better when you have a cold. However I bet you didn’t know that Lavender can be used as a antiseptic for cuts and bruises? Or that Viola’s can be used as an anti-inflammatory and is good for eczema? You’ll never look at plants in the same way!
