doctor first, especially if you’re taking medication or having any health conditions.
It’s also a good idea to know your plant hardiness zone, so you know which plants will work best in your area. Here are some suggestions and recommendations for medicinal plants you can grow at home. Some of these include healing properties that include comforting a stomach ache, calming anxiety. or acting as a mild sedative.
- Echinacea
