Sally Kravich, a natural health expert and herbalist for 25 years, recommends these easy-to-grow healthy herbs.
(Keep in mind the more concentrated the source, the more dramatic the benefits.)

Borrow a strategy from Asian chefs and plant cilantro, frequently used for detox diets to clear mercury and other heavy metals from the body.

Boil a bunch of parsley and steep for 10 minutes for an old-fashioned remedy to clear the kidneys and urinary tract.

Add fresh basil, mint or chamomile to your tea. Basil can be used to treat a variety of ills, including indigestion, colds, nausea, cramping and fevers. Mint has a calming effect on the digestive system, and chamomile is soothing as well.

Try cayenne pepper to kill bacteria and improve circulation. In the Middle East, it is used to guard against ulcers.

Turn to rosemary's healing properties to fend off headaches, as a substitute for aspirin.

And don't forget marigold, a natural insecticide to keep pesky bugs away from your garden.

Thanks!
