Mayday, Mayday......a pot of home-grown herbal tea for remedy.

Throbbing head, runny nose and a sore throat....just a few of the symptoms that were enough to send me to bed.
I'm switching to unconventional medicine for natural remedy. I have all the resources and ingredients to create my own concoction to suit my body needs. Growing your own herbs for a variety of reasons has never been so easy and fulfilling. Not only do we treasure their practical uses but they're cheap, fresh and readily available. I rely on them for their potency and efficacy.
With the help of some experts, I was able combine their ideas and added some of my choice herbs to add a little punch to my personal brew.

Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia Citriodora) is native to Australia, can grow up to 5 meters. It's known for its versatility of uses from kitchen savoury, pharmaceutical applications to cosmetic products. Its healing properties includes easing sore throats and it has some sedative effects.
