Medicine from your garden?

Wellness from your garden?

If you have medicinal, spay free plants, good guidance, and a good recipe, it is quite possible to use your garden as a kind of medicine cabinet. We made calendula oil for a family member who suffers from eczema, and whose body was reacting to years of steroid treatment.

​We support allopathic medicine, but there are times when it doesn't help, or when a two pronged approach may be helpful. We have been influenced by the writings of Dr David Servan-Schreiber, and the oral history passed down from Shanti's grandmother, who taught Shanti the wild plants that could heal. Shanti's grandmother's instructions were practical. In a large field of what looked like identical looking grasses, Shanti's grandmother would pick out that one leaf that could heal a sore stomach. There were many other similar lessons too. Have you used traditional medicines?
