Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 If only ten herbs or plants of any type could be grown in an attempt to heal as many ailments as possible from that selection of herbs, what would they be? The herbs must be local to your region, should either work unilaterally or combined only with other herbs from the same top ten list, and any processing should be easy enough to be done at home. Regards Joey, UK It is easier to find problems than it is to find solutions. P.S. TIP OF THE DAY:-) You may want to research on the top twenty most common non-fatal ailments (and if you are up to a real challenge, also research the top twenty most common FATAL ailments including HIV, cancer, etc).

In the course of a year (of the 4 seasons), pay close attention to your yard, your alleys, the waste places (small woodlets, edges of woods, etc) very near where you live. Get a book on wildflowers from library and try to notice what the prominent weeds are there. Pay no emphasis to the small or not abundant herbs there but to those which seem most prominent. These God-given or planted (by prior owners, and now "escaped" to weed status) these herbs are what you find now existing in nature, around you. Make use of those herbs first, because they are seen to thrive and with NO need for you to even cultivate them. I would guess that: Mullein, Dandelion, Red Clover, Wild Mustard, Elderberry, Raspberry and many more already are close and available to you now as "weeds". Perhaps best to work with what already exists there living with you, there first, and to make a list of a Top Ten, after you are familiar with those, close at hand. ..

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Your method for selection is fully acceptable but you have four more herbs to go.
