First aid herbal garden seed collection

You can use these herbs in all sorts of ways; fresh, dried, infused in water, macerated in oil, as syrups in honey, tinctures in alcohol or just nibbled.

One of the benefits of growing herbs yourself is that you can enjoy them at their freshest. Arnica and St John’s wort are especially good as a freshly infused oil; calendula and yarrow as a fresh poultice; chamomile as a fresh tea, spilanthes as a fresh lozenge.
