More and more people are becoming aware of the drawbacks of industrial food growth methods, and at the same time there is a growing understanding of the power of natural healing substances in many circumstances. As a result, many people are turning to organic herbal gardening for medicinal plants.

Organic herbal gardening provides an alternative to pharmaceutics. This substitute option has a long history, but has been overshadowed in recent decades by an over-reliance on technological and scientific quick fixes.

Herbal medicine and organic herbal gardening are not complete substitutes for modern medicine, and there are many cases where you will be better served with industrially synthesized medicines. But there are a great number of common ailments that can be cured and even prevented through less harsh plant-based recipes.

Overall, while herbal remedies have their critics, they provide a valuable complement to modern medicine for many ailments and its emphasis on prevention and balancing is liked with many who are striving for a more harmonic way of life.

People who turn to organic herbal gardening to grow natural medicines are usually highly aware of their bodies and also of their surroundings, and place a lot of importance on the quality and provenance of the food that they consume.

In fact organic gardening is going through a renaissance, but not many people are yet aware that the same principles that can be applied to organic food are also valid for plant-based medicines. And fewer yet know how easy it is to grow herbal remedies at home!

It is possible to find organic plant-based medicines that have been grown commercially, but the discerning user will prefer to grow his own organic plants on a windowsill or in one's garden. This is far easier than it may sound!

Herbal remedies can be prepared in a number of varying ways. Herbs can be eaten as culinary additives, and indeed there are certainly many herbal remedies already in your kitchen and diet, such as garlic and ginger root.

They can also be used for more topical applications, after having been mixed and made into pastes, creams or lotions, e.g. for applying to the skin. Herbal teas are another popular way of consuming herbal remedies, with chamomile being the most common and well known.

To start organic herbal gardening for the purpose of improving your health, you can either start from seeds or buy seedlings from specialist shops, either by going there in person or by buying over the internet.
