Healing Plants
Time is a great healer – but so is nature! Natural lotions and potions for minor first aid requirements are often simple to make, and easy to grow. That’s because many ‘backyard’ plants and flowers or herbs found in the wild have a myriad of medicinal uses. Grow your own first aid kit in your garden with our range of medicinal plants and healing plants – all supplied with a complementary planting and growing guide. For safe and coordinated care, always inform your health care providers that you are using natural and alternative medicine plants, especially if you are elderly, frail or pregnant.
