How to make your own medicine chest with safe ordinary wild herbs for tea, soup, conditioner and more, for free! -And it taste real good. As an extra prize, you will get some free exercise.
There are many house owners, who has a problem with too many weeds. (If you don't have a garden, there are possibilities in a larger park or a forest.) Among this weeds, there are dandelions, goutweed and stinging nettle, all good and healthy herbs with vitamins and other goods. In stead of eliminating the weeds, you should be happy for this free gift you have got. (Remember to rinse with water, the flowers and herbs before use!)
One of the most
irritating weed, are the goutweed. 
Who has not tried to get rid of this
plant? A good way to keep it down, are: collect the
young leafs, and use it with your salad. It gives your salad a fresh nutty
taste. If you should collect too much, the rest could be blanched and put into
your freezer, for use to a sauce. The elder leafs can be used as a kind of
spinach, or as a tasteful filling in your soup. You are able to have this
tasteful goutweed the whole summer.
Dandelions:
is
one of the most fantastic herbs, we have. You can use the whole plant: The root
as a vegetable in your soup, the young leafs in your salad, the elder leafs in
your soup, the flower to tea. The leafs are rich on vitamin A and C, they
are diuretic, and can be used to treatment for the urinary system and too much
liquid accumulation in your body. The root has a restrictive influence on
inflammation. The white bitter liquid in the plants stalk, can be used for external use
against warts. Please don't kill this plant!
Stinging
nettle:
it burns, it scratch, and it is one of the best herbs we have! You
can use it for soup, for tea, for conditioner, for liquid manure and more. If
you dry it, or pour boiling water over it, stinging nettle will not sting
anymore. It is rich on vitamins and iron (good for the red blood corpuscles),
and it is diuretic.
An easy way to get the very best and free conditioner, is to make a strong tea from stinging nettle, let it cool, and put this tea in your hair after your hair wash, let it be a couple of minutes, an then shower it lightly. Your hair will be smooth and lightening.
Your gardens best healthy weed soup: Stinging nettles, dandelion leafs and goutweed, chop it with garlic and onions, put it in a soup pot with water and potatoes, seasoning and spice (as you like). The soup is finished, when the potatoes are almost splashy. Blend it (not necessary) and serve it with baguettes.
Fresh air, a bit exercise, while you pick up some wild flowers for tea.
A lot of people loves to take a walk in a forest or a park, to smell and feel the fresh air. When you do this, take a safe bunch of flowers for tea, and you will exercise your body and soul!
These flowers are good for tea and medicine:
sweet violet, daisy, wild pansy, red clover, cornflower, and yarrow.
The yarrow: To make a good tasty tea, you must use less from the yarrow, because the yarrow is more aromatic than the other herbs I have mentioned. The yarrow is a very good seasoning for soup and fish, and if you have a bad throat, the yarrow is one of the best herbs. Just make you a cup of yarrow tea.
Heather:
A very beautiful
and good plant for tea, with a lot of good points. The flowers contains
minerals, they are diuretic, antiseptic, and works calming for your soul.
HEADACHE??
this plant is better than all pills!! The wild spiraea. This plant is well known for a thousand years by the Vikings. They made mead (beer) from it, and they have used it for hangovers. They just went to a wet meadow, and ate the spiraea. This plant contains a lot of natural salicylic acid, and has no secondary affect.
The spiraea is a little bit heavy in its taste, so we recommend, you use honey and a drop of lemon in your tea.
How to dry your plants:
I is very easy; hang the plants under the ceiling with the flower heads down. When they are dried, put it in a airtight jam jar.
Use only safe plants you know, because there are many toxic plants, too.
