1. Lemon Balm
Many
people believe that lemon balm has calming effects, which can reduce
anxiety and sleep problems. It is also used for digestive problems like
upset stomach, intestinal gas, vomiting and colic. This useful plant
tends to be naturally pest and disease resistant, and all it really
needs is some decent soil, protection from punishing heat and a regular
watering schedule. This herb can be used for making homemade tea or as a
yummy salad addition.
2. Thyme
Thyme
is a powerful herb that can help you with many types of breast and
colon cancer, bacterial infections and skin problems. It is commonly
used for treating diarrhea, stomachache, arthritis, sore throat and
bronchitis. The plant is very hardy and easy to grow, as well as safe to
harvest without constant fear of it dying. It is best used in deep
stews and meat marinades.
3. Sage
Sage
is used in medicine to help alleviate symptoms of mental disorders such
as Alzheimer's and depression. It can also be used to solve digestive
problems, improve memory and help type 2 diabetes patients with lowering
cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A sage plant requires plenty of
sunshine, good drainage and good air circulation. Sage is most often
used with poultry and pork but can also be used to flavor cheese.
4. Rosemary
A
good source of iron, calcium, and vitamin B6, rosemary has been found
to be helpful with enhancing memory and concentration, as well as
providing neurological protection. It is perfect to grow in a pot, but
not in direct sunlight, so you don't even need to have a garden. Use dry
or fresh rosemary to add great taste to pizzas or baked potatoes.
5. Parsley
Parsley contains more vitamin C
and K than basically anything else you eat, so it works wonders for
people with kidney stones, gastrointestinal disorders, constipation,
diabetes, cough, and asthma. If you plan on planting some parsley seeds
in your garden do so in moist, rich soil and plant each seed about 7
inches (18 cm) apart. Chop parsley and sprinkle it on any dish you want
to add a little life and color to. It is mild on the palate and yet very
refreshing.
6. Chives
Chives
are nutrient-dense herbs, with a low amount of calories and high levels
of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Chives contain choline, an
important nutrient that helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning and
memory. It has no problems growing indoors or outdoors, but it prefers
full sunlight. It is also important to give chives consistent watering
in the growing season, to ensure high yields. Add chives to salads or
other dishes spiced with herbs to give them an unexpected twist.
7. Mint
Best
grown in a pot, as it grows to fill whatever space you give it, mint is
a very useful herb to have around the house. It can be used as a simple
answer to allergies, colds, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and abdominal
pains. Use mint to make home-made natural tea, salads, or even just
crush a few leaves and add to water with some lemon juice for a great
healthy drink.
8. Oregano
This
plant will strive at ground level but won't spread too aggressively,
which means it's best grown outdoors or in large containers. Not only
does this herb provide food flavor and an amazing smell, it's also high
on potent antioxidants and anti-bacterial ingredients. Water the oregano
only when the soil is dry, as they are native to arid regions and don't
like too much water. Use it when making home-made pizza, mix it in with
your pasta sauce or even try adding a bit to your morning's scrambled
eggs.
9. Tarragon
Tarragon
has been used as a traditional remedy to stimulate appetite and
alleviate symptoms of anorexia. It is a rich source of vitamins such as
C, A and B, and other minerals like calcium, manganese, iron and
magnesium. Keep tarragon in a spot of the garden that enjoys full sun in
the morning with dappled light in the afternoon. It can tolerate full
afternoon sun in locations that don't get too hot, but it should be kept
well-watered. Tarragon is a tasty spice for any dish with rice or
chicken and can also add a refreshing, but not overpowering, taste to
fish dishes.
10. Basil
Consider
planting this herb in your garden and house just for the smell, if not
for its many possible health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and
anti-aging properties, basil is a good source of vitamins A, K and C, as
well as magnesium, iron and potassium. During dry periods, water the
plants freely, as basil loves moist ground. Also, be sure to pick the
leaves regularly to encourage growth throughout the summer. Commonly
used in Italian cooking, basil combines wonderfully with anything that
includes tomatoes and cheese.
