Hello and thank you for picking up this book. Ifyou want an alternative to some of the traditional medicines on the shelves/overthe counter that may or may not have varying side effects, then please continuereading and you might find something to help.
Here youll find a composition of herbs that can be grown at home and havemultiple uses in both cooking and medical.
Now, granted, if they are used for medical then please note that they might notwork for everyone. This is simply because every person is different. So whatmay work for one, might not work for another. That doesnt mean to just giveup. It just means to try something else as there are a lot of herbs and plantsout there that could be of help that arent listed in this book.
Also, if you have any medical conditions such as seizures or other ailmentsthat are physical or mental, then you may wish to consult your physician. Whydo I say this you may be asking? I include this because I learned some herbscan affect people with mental, emotional, or physical problems in a negativeway.
Such as how I learned one herb, if applied to at least the wrists, willincrease a persons anxiety if they had a prior anxiety disorder. Another,which is listed, can increase seizure activity for some people depending ontheir type of seizures. If you have any plant allergies, or might have plantallergies, do not try anything listed if you are allergic to that herb. Wedont want anyone getting an allergic reaction be it small, mild, or serious.
If you do decide to try a food item listed or medicine treatment with an herband have a reaction, while having had prior knowledge you were allergic, thenyou had a warning before and decided to ignore it.
I hope everyone finds the following information interesting and intriguing.

Lets kick this book off right with a very interestingplant that falls into the cacti family. This plant is very drought resistant,has spines on both sides of its long leaves, and stores water in these leavesfor later use during times without rain. The Aloe Vera has multiple uses formedical and a few ways to be prepared to be eaten. It has also been around forhundreds, if not possibly thousands, of years. Some have compared this greenand easy growing plant to a snail due to the slime that oozes out of its leaveswhen broken/cut off.
A fun fact: this plant has qualities that work like a laxative and is even usedin some laxatives. It is not recommended, if ate, to be eaten as a regular mealor on a daily basis. No one wants to pass into the next life because they hadtoo much laxative compound in their system.
Now then! Heres the order well be covering our three topics in for each herb:Growth/Care, Medical Use, and Cooking. So lets get started!
> Growth:
- This hardy plant can be purchased in seed form or already started from anursery/store. You cannot start this plant from a cutting like you can otherplants. You can transplant sprigs called pups which will be covered downunder Care.
- Make sure the soil is a loose sandy type so it can drain water well. Youdont want the water to pool up around the roots or base of the plant. Thiswill drown it or essentially it will kill your plant. Only water it when thedirt is dry to the touch. You could also measure down 3 inches to check itsmoisture level and if its dry then give your Vera a nice drink.
- Give this baby a lot of sunlight. You will want to plant it either outside ina sunny area or, if indoors in a pot, have it at a window that gets sunlight forthe majority of the day. There are some things to watch out for while your Veragrows to ensure it stays healthy:
- - When your leaves start to flatten and become low then move it into the sun.The leaves are normally more upright and look to be reaching towards the skyand will have a slight curve due to how long they can get upon maturity.
- - When the leaves start getting some brown to their green hue then you needto give it some shade. You dont want to burn your plant. It loves the sunlightbut just like humans, it can only take so much before it starts to burn.
- - If your leaves are thinning and curling up on themselves then you are inneed of giving your baby some water. When it uses up its stored reserves theleaves lose their full plumpness and will curl up like dried out paper. Giveextra water in moderation. You dont want to waterlog the poor thing.
- - Lastly, if you are seeing that your leaves are suddenly looking yellowalong with any of the firm leaves falling apart, then you need to lay off thewatering for a few days or longer. Even plants can store only so much waterbefore they get waterlogged. Just give it some down time with no water and oncethe plant starts looking better, make sure the soil is plenty dry before youstart to water it again. Cut/pinch off any yellow sections remaining.
> Care: Since the above covered both this and growing, this care section willexplain how to grow and transplant more Aloe Vera.
- The term for an Aloe Vera sprout is a pup.
