Medicinal Plants
Mint or Spearmint
Mint is they who have curative properties in some of its parts (leaves, flowers, seeds, roots, etc.). And serves to calm, control or even cure disease. There are thousands of species that can be considered as a drug, both the trees, shrubs and grasses. Some people say, that all the properties of medicinal plants for some reason or another. They are used as teas, poultices, etc..
Some species can be derived from the 3 groups at once (eg mint), or one or two.
Herbs Palms (last season) and perennials (lasting several years). There are several Biennials.
- Plants that provide us with the smell of the garden (aromatic).
- Plants for seasoning, to taste our dishes (or culinary condimentarias).
- Plants that cure or reduce the disease (medicine).
Clear once again that the use and utility that has a very large plants: they are beautiful, decorated, softening the place, providing shade, protection from wind, oxygen, moist air, provide food such as fruits and vegetables, etc.. etc.., etc. .. Oh, and of course, the three utilities in this section: the smell in the air, spices for cooking and medicine for our health. Almost nothing!
I think in every garden or at home, there must be some aromatic and Condimentarias. They are very easy to grow and practice 100%. You do not need to eat from the garden are planted in pots or planters, can be placed on the patio, balcony or in the room. At home is the best way to get fresh herbs all winter.
Which is the best thing is the kitchen, due to lack of heating and ventilation are your main enemy. The kitchen is often a site without the heating and ventilation often. They are also more in hand.
