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.
WARNING – You 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.

GREAT show! Makes me very happy that I received an antique rose that is known for its hips just today! I’ve never actually eaten a rose hip before. I look forward to it! I also have a good friend who uses feverfew to aid in her migraines. Thanks Jack!
In Asia, neem is grown in our back yard. It can grow into a big tree, Chewing a leaf a day is helpful for many sickness. Traditional Chinese Tea is normally drink without milk or sugar, to increase its potency, it is mix with a variety of dry flowers or leaf to target any weakness or sickness. There are traders here who has more than a hundred variety of flowers. It make a delightful drink & soothing to our throat. This dry flowers can be kept for several years so we has several containers whereby we pick & mix the flowers for our daily drink. It increase our immunity(I never had a cold or flu) especially useful during pandemic.
Question about the French marigolds… I was under the impression from earlier podcasts that some were edible (blossoms) in salads? Just wanted to ask…
