CULTIVATION OF MEDICINAL HERBS IN YOUR GARDEN - TIPS AND REVIEWS ON APPLICATION.
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE EXPERIENCE OF CULTIVATION OF SOME MEDICINAL PLANTS IN MY GARDEN.
This year I have planted thyme, hyssop, tarragon (tarragon) and lavender (Yuzhanka variety). All herbs were grown through seedlings sown in March. There were no problems: everyone got up together and settled down well after transplanting to a permanent place.
But last year I was very surprised by St. John's wort, which was also planted with seeds in boxes: the seeds sprouted well, grew a centimeter and ... froze. So the sprouts sat for a whole month, not reacting in any way to my feeding. Having decided to open them, I was extremely surprised: with the height of the aboveground part of 1 cm, the roots of the plants reached a length of 8-10 cm and were strongly intertwined!
That is why St. John's wort did not grow - the roots were cramped. My advice to those who want to grow it from seeds: plant in "snails".
I will not write about thyme, as there have already been articles about it. I just want to add that thyme tea is amazing.
I became friends with hyssop four years ago, when after a severe cold in winter I could not get rid of a lingering cough for a long time. For a week I drank a decoction of hyssop, and the cough went away.
Well, my grandchildren pushed me to tarragon, who like to buy a green lemonade called "Tarhun" in the store. I decided that I myself would cook this
drink, but there it was. They did not like mine for two reasons: firstly, the color is not as bright as that of the store, and secondly, there is a subtle bitterness, like wormwood: apparently, tarragon is a relative of wormwood, they even have similar leaves.
A little more about it. Tarragon is a perennial spicy plant with a height of 50-60 cm, although the annotation indicates a height of 1 m.Perhaps it will grow up to a meter next year. The culture is cold-resistant, in one place it can grow up to 10 years. D Tarragon has unique medicinal properties, has long been used as a spice in cooking.
I would like to list some useful properties of tarragon for those summer residents who do not have access to the Internet: it has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties (slows down the aging process), contains carotene, vitamin C and other trace elements. Lowers blood pressure (therefore contraindicated for hypotensive patients), strengthens the immune system, accelerates metabolism (which is especially important for older children), has a slight diuretic effect and improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
I would like to remind the proverb: "Sometimes poison is a medicine, sometimes an abundance of medicine is poison." Therefore, you should not abuse tarragon, as well as completely abandon it.
I prepare the infusion as follows: pour three or four branches with boiling water (0,5 l), adding honey or sugar to taste.
Let me remind you that at a temperature of 60-70 °, honey loses all its beneficial properties.
When the broth cools down, filter and take 3-4 tbsp. l. three times per day. I store it in the refrigerator. The result is a very tasty drink with a pleasant aroma. The bitterness disappears after storage in the refrigerator.
All the plants listed in my letter are perennials, which is another advantage: you do not need to re-sow every year. She planted spicy herbs under apple trees to scare off pests with their smells, but lavender will have to be transplanted, because the fruits falling from the tree break the flower stalks.
After I watched a video on the Web about tea that we buy in a store, all the desire to drink it disappeared. They bring him to us from more than 20 countries, even from Africa, where he is repeatedly processed with chemicals.
Therefore, dear summer residents, herbal teas from your garden are safer and healthier than purchased ones.
From the editor. Tarragon really belongs to the genus wormwood, it is even officially called tarragon wormwood (other names are dragon grass, tarragon). It is widely used in cooking, winemaking, cosmetology and medicine. The popular refreshing drink is made with plant extract.

I saw the milk thistle on the field and, knowing its medicinal properties, I noticed this place, so that later, when the plant gives the seeds, collect them and sow next to their plot.
Milk thistle rose well and began to grow rapidly. When the fluff began to fly down from the flower buds, I began collecting seeds. Since milk thistle was high and prickly, she collected them in a dressing gown with long sleeves. And in order to reach the seeds, hooked from the wire inflorescence and three fingers easily took out the seeds for the parachutes. Collected seeds stretched their hands to separate the umbrellas, and swept in the wind.
Milk thistle is a known protector of the liver. It revitalizes, purifies, strengthens, restores and protects from harmful compounds.
It is not difficult to grow milk thistle. It multiplies perfectly by self-seeding. Therefore, for the first time it is best to sow it far away from the beds.

For two decades now, I forgot to think about medicines. My whole pharmacy is in the garden and in the forest.
I conduct a special notebook with recipes for all occasions, including emergency ones.
• Heartburn
Take two or three peas and chew them for 5-10 min.
• Poisoning
Grind dry grass spores, measure 1 st. l., pour a glass of water, bring to a boil and let it brew 30 min. Drink it all in one go. Take 3-4 times a day. Sporesch removes toxins from the body.
• Furuncles
10-15 pcs. prick the mug of burdock with water (0,3 L), bring to a boil and simmer on low heat 20 min. Cool and drink in one meal before eating. Take 3 once a day.
• Non-healing wounds
Fresh leaves yarrow finely chop, I lay directly on the wound and bandage. Every 8 I change the bandage.

In one summer, my tombsters somewhere picked up the lichen. The usual means did not help, and then I remembered that with this unpleasant thing, the milk thistle works very well.
But I killed her mercilessly - there were years when she simply flooded my garden and began to move to the garden.
And yet I managed to find a few bushes on the outskirts of an abandoned site. Sliced leaves, cut off their thorns and squeezed out the juice. Then I moistened a cotton swab in it and held it for a minute on every lichen speck.
The children resisted, of course, but still suffered. And what do you think, the next day the spots turned pale, and then completely disappeared.
Now just a little - a pimple, a cold on the lips, a simple wound - I immediately put a healing thorn.
And milk thistle is good for the liver. I collect seeds, grind them into powder - before eating, I’m coming for a sweet soul.
So I no longer destroy the healing thorn - she walks with me in important ladies. She assigned a special place in the garden.
