 The Medicinal Herb Garden was designed by MyPatriotSupply as a collection of natural herbs and flowers that are well known for their uses in herbal medicine.
The Medicinal Herb Garden contains only the highest quality heirloom flower and herb seeds. They are 100% Non-GMO, open-pollinated and placed in specially sealed packets allowing for longer storage than is typically possible with herb seeds.
Our "competitors" sell similar products for as much as $79! They claim to give you a wide variety of seeds - but then you find out you have tiny amounts of seed that won't even grow in your area. Beware of packages that don't clearly state seed count!
The Medicinal Herb Garden comes with the following features:
- Convenient resealable durable metal storage can
- E-Z Lock resealable, reusable triple-layered foil seed packets
- 10 different varieties of easy-to-grow plants!
- Seeds are open pollinated and can be grown, harvested, and replanted endlessly
- Dried & sealed airtight for longer seed shelf life
- Varieties selected are zone-friendly to most all areas!
Your Medicinal Herb Garden seed order comes with:
Echinacea – Purple Coneflower - 130+ Seeds/packet
Results
of archeological digs indicate that Native Americans may have used
echinacea for more than 400 years to treat infections and wounds and as a
general "cure-all." Throughout history people have used echinacea to
treat scarlet fever, syphilis, malaria, blood poisoning, and diphtheria.
Although this herb was popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, its
use began to decline in the United States after the introduction of
antibiotics. Echinacea preparations became increasingly popular in
Germany throughout the 20th century. In fact, most of the scientific
research on echinacea has been conducted in Germany.
Several
laboratory and animal studies suggest that echinacea contains active
substances that enhance the activity of the immune system, relieve pain,
reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant
effects. For this reason, professional herbalists may recommend
echinacea to treat urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast (candida)
infections, ear infections (also known as otitis media), athlete's foot,
sinusitis, hay fever (also called allergic rhinitis), as well as
slow-healing wounds.

species and the high concentration of nicotine in its leaves makes it
useful for creating organic pesticides!
It originated in Mexico but was widely cultivated throughout the
Americas by native peoples for ceremonial purposes. Mapacho is
considered very sacred by Amazonian shamans and is employed alone or in
combination with other plants in shamanic practices. Some shamans drink
the juice of tobacco leaves alone as a source of visions. Mapacho is
used extensively in healing practices and is considered a medicine, not a
health hazard, when used properly.
The Tukanoan peoples of the Vaupés
often rub a decoction of the leaves briskly over sprains and bruises.
Amongst the Witotos and Boras, fresh leaves are crushed and poulticed
over boils and infected wounds. Tikuna men mix the crushed leaves with
the oil from palms to rub into the hair to prevent balding. The Jivaros
take tobacco juice therapeutically for indisposition, chills and snake
bites. In many tribes tobacco snuff may be employed medicinally for a
variety of ills, particularly to treat pulmonary ailments.
Hyssopus officinalis - Hyssop - 150+ Seeds/packet The bright blue flowers of this member of the mint family add lovely

and medicinal properties for colds, flu, sore throat, bruises, and
burns.

anti-viral, so the tea is great to drink if you’re feeling under the
weather. The hot tea brings on a sweat that is good for relieving
colds, flus and fevers and an anti-viral agent has been found that
combats mumps, cold sores and other viruses. Lemon Balm might also help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Shingles, due to
the anti-viral action.
One of Lemon Balm’s key medicinal qualities is as a tranquilizer. It
calms a nervous stomach, colic, or heart spasms. The leaves are reputed
to also lower blood pressure. It is very gentle, although effective,
so is often suggested for children and babies.
Lemon Balm tea has been shown to inhibit the division of tumor cells.
It may also be beneficial to those with Grave’s disease-studies indicate
that the herb slightly inhibits the thyroid-stimulating hormone and
restricts Grave’s disease, a hyperthyroid condition.
Lemon Balm’s anti-histamine action is useful to treat eczema and
headaches and accounts for the centuries old tradition of placing the
fresh leaf on insect bites and wounds. A fomentation of Lemon Balm may
also help reduce the swelling associated with gout.
Through research, Lemon Balm has clearly demonstrated the ability to
impact the limbic system of the brain and “protect” the brain from the
powerful stimuli of the body and should be part of any ADHD formula. It
smells a lot better than Ritalin, too.
