Great thread idea, CindSein. One thing to keep in mind is that separating herbs into culinary and medicinal catagories is, to a large extent, an artificial construct. Virtual all herbs have some medicinal properties. For instance, mint, catnip (which is, after all, a mint) and fennel all have stomach-settling properties. All the oreganos are good for headaches (as is rosemary). Alfalfa is a specific for treating arthritis. And so on. Would be nice if we use this thread to create a running list of such multi-purpose herbs. BTW, welcome to our little corner of the culinary world. I hope you like it here, and that we here more from you. ------------- But we hae meat and we can eat And sae the Lord be thanket |
