Herbs are found all over the world, they grow wherever conditions are favourable for them to. 

There are many categories of herbs e.g. those used for cooking and those used for air purification and to enhance the aesthetics of a room.

This post will focus on herbs used for medicinal purposes locally.

We have all grown up drinking or using herbs for medicinal purposes at one point in time or another.

Given our modern lifestyle, if it does not come with an exotic sounding name and in a Lipton or Tetley Tea box on the grocery aisle we are not interested in drinking herbal (pronounced errrr-bal) tea.

Maybe we should revisit the idea of a kitchen garden or trough to grow our own herbs for ourselves thus saving lots of pennies at the supermarket😉😉😉.
