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.

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.
