hot peppers - The Right Rosemary Rosemary’s classic flavor enhances many kinds of food, making it a popular culinary herb in the garden. Not only are the plants beautiful, but, planted near the kitchen, they provide a fresh source of edible leaves at your fingertips. [Note: Most links in this article below will show you a 'mouse-over' pop-up image. Try it here]. In the National Herb Garden, we grow 51 different rosemary cultivars representing the many forms, flower colors, fragrances, and varying cold-hardiness. Plants may be upright, lax and sprawling, or prostrate, almost hugging the ground; leaves may be broad, thin, or short and stubby; flowers are generally blue, but also come in pink or white; and fragrances vary from plant to plant as well, ranging from a warm, rich pine to almost unnoticeable. If that’s not enough to consider, rosemary’s hardiness can be as variable as its physical traits. The two most commonly grown hardy rosemaries are Rosmarinus officinalis 'Arp' and R. officinalis 'Madelene Hill' (syn.

Se soigner par les plantes médicinales Faut-il utiliser des plantes médicinales fraîches ou séchées ? La plupart des spécialistes des plantes médicinales recommandent d’utiliser si possible des plantes fraîches, notamment à cause de principes actifs théoriquement intacts, c’est-à-dire non détruits par la chaleur ou l’humidité et d’un meilleur goût.Quand utiliser des plantes séchées ? Mais il y a parfois des exceptions à cette règle, comme dans la préparation de baumes ou d’huiles (y compris solutions huileuses). Dans ce cas, l’eau contenue dans les plantes fraîches n’est pas idéale pour une préparation entièrement graisseuse et des plantes séchées s’avèrent préférables. A certaines périodes de l’année (ex. hiver), il n’est bien sûr pas possible d’utiliser certaines plantes fraîches. Quelles quantités ? Comment récolter et sécher les plantes médicinales ? 1. 2. 3.

Shaman's Garden Exotic Botanicals and Psychoactive Herbs Herb history, education, and use: The Herb Society of America Root-based Iron Tonic Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus) grows profusely in my yard. It is a prairie plant and is also called curly dock due to its curled leaves. You can see rust spots on the leaves, indicating the plant pulls iron from the soil and thus is a good iron remedy. Last week I made up some very good Iron Tonic. Here's the recipe: 1/2 ounce each dried dandelion root and dried yellow dock root 1/2 cup blackstrap molasses 1/8 cup brandy (optional; to preserve) First harvest the roots and chop them into small pieces (about 1/4" thick rounds). Put the roots in a quart jar and cover with boiling water. The dose is 1-2 tablespoons daily.

Guide phytosanté, la phytothérapie de A à Z, lexique des plantes médicinales Welcome To NMPB News&Mags - It’s about thyme: good looks, resilience and guaranteed garden impact Most of the country, including Toronto, has just now survived a heat wave. It was hot, especially out on the roof garden, my little piece of heaven turned to hell by the scorching sun. It was only inhabitable after dark - we spent the week offering emergency critical plant care by flashlight. In that heat, some containers required watering three times per day! The lettuces, violas (miraculously still alive), and even typically resilient basil and tomatoes growing in larger pots put up a fuss of dramatic fainting, fretting, and impromptu wilting when the heat was at its worst. My once lush and healthy lemon tree mysteriously dropped all of its leaves on one side. For a tiny plant, thyme has got it all - looks, an easy going nature, a deliciously warm aroma, a pungent, complicated flavour, and it makes an impact in a cramped space. It's a very hardy plant that can survive a cold zone 4 winter, as long as the soil is not dense or soggy.

In States With Medical Marijuana, Painkiller Deaths Drop by 25 Percent America has a major problem with prescription pain medications like Vicodin and OxyContin. Overdose deaths from these pharmaceutical opioids have approximately tripled since 1991, and every day 46 people die of such overdoses in the United States. However, in the 13 states that passed laws allowing for the use of medical marijuana between 1999 and 2010, 25 percent fewer people die from opioid overdoses annually. “The difference is quite striking,” said study co-author Colleen Barry, a health policy researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. The shift showed up quite quickly and become visible the year after medical marijuana was accepted in each state, she told Newsweek. As with most findings involving marijuana and public policy, however, not everyone agrees on a single interpretation of the results. Not so fast, said Dr. “You don’t have primary care doctors in these states [prescribing] marijuana instead of Vicodin,” he said.
