Grow a Garden with Healing Herbs and Plants - Grow
Imagine for a moment the processes that take place in our bodies as soon as we encounter even a tiny breach of the skin. A miniscule scrape draws a little blood, fends off infection and eventually heals over, involving so many processes and encapsulating so many minor miracles—none of them conscious, willed or even noticed—that the mind simply boggles. Now imagine these processes on a scale much larger and more complex: wounds, burns, sore throats, fevers, queasy stomachs. For the seemingly endless things that can go wrong with our bodies, each of us carries an arsenal of weapons, tools and front-line soldiers ready to protect and defend against invaders, interlopers or the simple imbalances that can set us on a rocky path. If the complexity and wonder of that don’t just knock you out, what would it take to impress you? This article isn’t intended to take the place of medical advice, but for many routine physical complaints, the garden can provide much relief.

Bear Medicine: Oshá and Sage Infused Honey, by Kiva Rose and Rhiannon - HerbMentor
In this recipe, we’ll be looking at the classic and well paired combination of Oshá and Sage, two herbs well known for their powerful healing effects on the respiratory tract. Both are diffusive and warming, with expectorant, soothing, and stimulating effects that make them ideal in situations where there are signs of respiratory congestion, coldness, tiredness, an achy sore throat, and possibly chronic respiratory infection. Oshá, sometimes called “Bear Medicine,” is one the most well known herbs of the American Southwest, and for good reason. The aromatic (some would say stinky) root of the plant is famous for its nigh on miraculous effect on what many call “lung grunge”, or even at the very onset of wet, boggy bronchitis or other wet, cold lung conditions.
Basic Botany
In order to gain a working knowledge of horticulture, it is necessary to understand the structure and function of plants and the environmental factors that affect plant growth. In the greatly diversified kingdom of plants, all flowering plants have certain structures and functions in common. These similarities are the basis for this chapter. Higher flowering plants are divided into two groups, monocotyledons (monocots) and dicotyledons (dicots). Although monocots and dicots are similar in many ways, differences with respect to number of seed leaves, number of flower parts, leaf vein pattern, and root structure exist.

Just because a store-bought "green" cleaner label makes claims of being natural or ecofriendly doesn't mean the contents match the message. According to research from the American Chemical Society, the truth behind green-cleaning product claims varies wildly, with some loaded with harmful petrochemical ingredients. The authors measured the source of ingredients in more than a dozen liquid laundry detergents, hand soaps and dish soaps that advertised claims such as "natural" and "ecofriendly."
