Favorite Herb?

Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favorable comparison with the products of Nature, the living cell of a plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.

Lavender is definitely one of my favorites. Other than that, I prefer light herbs. Anything that smells/tastes clean, and doesn't linger for a very long time.

Beaten and weather-worn
Trampled and used,
Where the earth waits to be noticed again.

But that road is not less worthy of praise,
It just needs a little more love.

Victoria, that sounds awesome!! I was just telling a friend today that I would like to add peppermint in my herb garden next year. Do you make tea with it? How do you use all of your mints?
DO you know offhand if it does well in a pot indoors?

Healing with herbs is an old tradition that most of us are aware of but not all of us use, growing indoor herb garden is a great way to extend the gardening season , herbs are good for the health as well as for the fitness, here are some of my favourite herbs are Mint, Rosemary and Basil.

I have a few favourites. For aromatherapy, I love lavender and jasmine. For magical purposes, I love rosemary, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

I love lavender and mint. But my definite favourites are from the song 'Are you going to scarborough fair'. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Lol its sad right but I've just always felt that connection to those herbs! )O(

Lavender is my all time favorite. I like anything calming and relaxing. I enjoy rosemary and mint to clear the mind. I drink chamomile tea, for my upset stomach and anxiety, or peppermint tea.
I would like to try something for healing and love. Any ideas?
Anybody mix teas and gems/crystals? Was doing a little reading on that, sounds fun.

I've honestly never used any herbs in my work! I like aromatherapy though, I should get back into using that. I do, however, loathe mint with a passion.

So, what do you all say? Any easy herb usage for a "green" like me? ;)
