Discover the healing properties of common culinary herbs in your garden.
Chamomile
A tea can be brewed from the flowers and used to ease insomnia. An antispasmodic herb, chamomile is also good for nervous stomach upsets when used in moderation.
Fennel
When you’re suffering wind or stomach cramps, a cup of fennel seed tea can ease the pain. Put one teaspoon of seed in a cup, pour over boiling water, let it stand, then strain before drinking. Chew fennel seeds after a rich meal to freshen breath and settle the stomach.
Feverfew
Eat two fresh feverfew leaves at the onset of a migraine. Eat them with bread, because they taste quite bitter.
French tarragon
The aniseed-flavoured leaves of French tarragon (Artemisia dranunculus) stimulate digestion and help the body to break down fatty foods that are high in cholesterol.
Garlic
When eaten regularly, garlic can lower blood fat levels, including cholesterol, and reduce the chances of getting blood clots.
Hyssop
A tea made from hyssop leaves is an excellent tonic if you have a cough or cold, as it’s a gentle decongestant and expectorant. However, avoid it if you’re pregnant.
Peppermint
Try a cup of peppermint tea the next time you have indigestion or feel bloated after a meal. Put a handful of fresh or dried leaves into a mug, pour over boiling water, and allow it to stand for five minutes. Put a lid over the top to stop the steam dissipating the essential oils.
Rosemary
Tea made from fresh rosemary leaves helps stimulate the memory and clear a hangover. Drink in moderation, as too much can be harmful.
Lavender
Not only is lavender a tonic for the nervous system, it’s also a calming sedative. Add a few drops of lavender oil or a handful of lavender flowers to a bath, or make a bath bag. Wrap lavender sprigs in a piece of muslin, tie it up and hang it under a running tap.
Lemon balm
A mild antidepressant, a restorative for the nervous system and a mild sedative, lemon balm can be enjoyed as a tea.
Californian poppy
When dried, the bright orange-yellow flowers of California poppy can be made into a calming tea, which, like chamomile, can help combat insomnia.
