There are many plants that have healing powers. We also find many of them in our own garden, but most of the time we don't even know that they are medicinal plants . We would like to introduce four of them to you:
- Milk Thistle: Good for the liver, bile and digestion. A tea can be brewed from the seeds in autumn. Caution: only use gloves!
- Artichoke: This plant is also easy to get from the greengrocer. It belongs to the thistles and is said to prevent metabolic disorders. Here the fruit is edible and very tasty.
- Bitter candytuft: If you have a sensitive stomach lining, you can brew a tea from the candytuft. Here, however, one must pay attention to the correct dosage, since an overdose can lead to severe diarrhea. It's best to talk to the pharmacist.
- Angelica: Good for indigestion and abdominal discomfort. You can eat anything with this plant, you can add it to salads or brew tea with it.
