Healing Herbs

It's not the herbal That grows over the sea, Behind the mountain, But the herb that grows With you in the same yard The plants that hermit found Unnoticed, overgrown weeds Of plantains, onions, or bulb forms That matter most for healing Of body, soul and thoughts.

Yes, yes. Very insightful. ThkU. Just saw this poem after drinking dandelion weeds in my yard. Weeds/herbs/people as weeds or herbs ~ I love it !

I thank you for your nice comment, Ghairo. Due to expensive medicine, many people turn to herbal medicine for illness medication and for wellness purposes also. Herbs are connecting people, they are common and can be planted in the backyard. You can get it anytime and process simply as you wish. Most common folks says it's effective and recommendable health medicinal. Again, thank you, Sir for your nice input. Your friend here in the Philippines, Hugo.
