Today is the third in a multi-part series on medicinal plants, trees and herbs.  Today we cover 8 plants traditionally growing through out the world simply as “flowers”.  While each is certainly a beautiful flower for the garden or even in a vase on a table all of these can also help our bodies heal.

WARNINGYou alone are responsible for any items you consume, you must be sure of species identification, if you have any doubt, don’t put it in your body.  Always start with small does and slowly gauge what happens as you increase it.  While the plants here are easy to identify there are plants out there that can and do kill people.  Again use caution, be certain of identification and I take no responsibility for anyone who chooses to not follow this piece of advice.

Tune in today as we discuss these 8 North American Native Medicinal Plants…

  • Purple Coneflower (scientific name – Echinacea purpurea)
  • Calendula (Pot Marigold) (scientific name – Calendula officinalis)
  • Chamomile (scientific name – Chamomilla recutita)
  • Roses (scientific name – Rosa rugosa)
  • Nasturtium (scientific name – nasturtium gambelii)
  • Daylily (scientific name – Hemerocallis )
  • Lavender (scientific name – Lavandula angustifolia)
  • California Poppy (scientific name – Eschscholzia californica)
