We prepared short list of diseases which can be cured by using various medicinal plants. They can at least alleviate the problems we have because of illness. The advantages of use are in prevention and medicinal intentions. Above all, we can provide a lot of herbs and medicinal plants by ourselves in meadows, fields, forests , well in nature.
We believe that ECHINACEA (Echinacea purpurea), ANGELICA (Angelica archangelica), ARNICA (Arnica montana), BASIL (Ocimum basilicum), ELDER BUSH (Sambucus nigra), WHORTLEBERRY (Vaccinium myrtillus), WILD STRAWBERRIES (Fragaria vesca), CHAMOMILE (Matricaria chamomilla), NETTLE (Urtica dioica), CORN SILK (Stigmata maydis), QUINCE (Cydónia oblónga Mill), COLTSFOOT (Tussilago farfara), WILD PANSY (Viola Tricolor herba), Marjoram (Origanum majarona), THYME (Thymus vulgaris), MELISE (Melissa officinalis), HOREHOUND (Marrubium Vulgare), HOUSELEEK (Sempervivum tectorum), MARIGOLD (Calendula officinalis), MISTLETOE (Viscum album), ABSINTH (Artemisia absinthium), LUNGWORT (Pulmonaria officinalis), RHUBARB (Rheum officinale), DANDELION (Taraxacum officinale), ROSEMARY (Rosmarinus Officinalis), LAVENDER (Lavandula angustifolia), SPRUCE TIPS (Picea excelsa), ST JOHN'S WORT (Hypericum perforatum), PLANTAIN (Plantago lanceolata), VIOLET (Viola odorata), SAGE (Salvia officinalis), and of course other herbs should not be missing in any domestic pharmacy.
For now, we prepared for you this collection of medical plants, that should not miss in home apothecary. We will supplement web page soon and add more plants, that will help you with easing and treatment of your diseases and troubles.

Until now, I have never had depression or anxiety. Now I am finding that I am bothered by Anxiety. I try to go to sleep and after a period of time, I start to feel anxious. Now I am feeling it more and more during the day.
Here is what I found that might help: Valerian, lavender and lemon balm.
I am going to try the valerian at bedtime.
Passion flower (passiflora incarnata) is an herbal supplement used historically in treating anxiety, insomnia, seizures and hysteria. A perennial climbing vine native to southeastern North America, passion flower is now grown throughout Europe. The herbal supplement is composed of the flowers, leaves and stems of the plant.

Some important things about administering the echinacea. It’s a very mild herb, so you can use a LOT of it. The proper way to administer it is with frequency instead of just quantity. Give frequent doses instead of just one or a couple of large doses. I started off giving a dose every thirty minutes, then I give a dose every hour….except while I’m sleeping. If you can also get the echinacea directly on the bite mark…do it, it will put medicine localized directly where needed. Echinacea is an herb to use as needed instead of constantly. If you use it only in cases where it’s needed then it will be very effective, but if you use it every day as a “preventative” it won’t be very effective when the time comes that you actually NEED it. <—no experience with that statement, just something I’ve read.

I have experienced some relaxation with all of these, especially valerian.
The best one for me has been passion flower vine.Passion flower (passiflora incarnata) is an herbal supplement used historically in treating anxiety, insomnia, seizures and hysteria.

My understanding has been that just the wild variety is used for medicinal purposes...
If you can stand the taste a leaf or two of feverfew has some immediate effect for some people...

This info isn't as much about medicinal herbs, but I do like that it suggests positive interactions between culinary herbs and fruit trees/bushes. If garlic really does help repel Japanese Beetles, this place is gonna look like a garlic farm for the next few years.
Basil: Basil can benefit the growth petunias and the flavors of tomatoes, asparagus, peppers and oregano; it should not be planted near common rue or sage. To increase the essential oils in your basil, plant chamomile or anise.
Borage: Borage acts as a deterrent to tomato hornworms and cabbage worms and is known to attract bees and wasps. It also improves soil composition and helps any plants near it be more resistant to both pests and disease. Plant borage with strawberries, tomatoes or squash to enhance both the flavor and amount of your fruit or vegetable harvest.
Chamomile: In addition to increasing the essential oils of any nearby herbs, chamomile can help basil, wheat, onions, cabbage and cucumber plants. This herb also attracts hoverflies and wasps, which assist in pollination and prey on aphids and other pest insects.
Chive: A long-term investment, chives are often planted in conjunction with tomatoes, carrots, apple trees and roses. At first growth they will repel aphids from tomatoes, mums and sunflowers, and after about three years they have known to prevent apple scab and rose black spot.
Cilantro/Coriander: This familiar kitchen spice will deter aphids, potato beetles, and spider mites. It’s a good companion to anise, caraway, spinach and dill. If you have continued problems with spider mites, a tea made from coriander can repel them.
Dill: Companion to lettuce, cabbage, onions, sweet corn and cucumbers, dill should not be planted near carrots, caraway, lavender or tomatoes (it attracts tomato horn worms). This herb will keep aphids, spider mites and squash bugs from taking over your garden and will attract hoverflies, wasps, and honeybees. To avoid cross-pollination, don’t plant dill near fennel.
Garlic: In addition to its health benefits, garlic deters rabbits as well as tree borers, aphids, cabbage looper, codling moths, Japanese beetles, snails, carrot root flies, ants and cabbage maggots. It is especially beneficial when planted near apple, pear and peach trees, roses, cucumbers, peas, lettuce or celery.
Mints: Be careful when planting mints as they can be very invasive; keep it in a container if possible to prevent its spread. Cuttings of mint can be beneficially used in mulching around turnips, cabbage, broccoli and mustard, and can also be effective in discouraging mice. As a live plant, spearmint and peppermint are especially useful in attracting bees and repelling black flea beetles, ants, mosquitoes, white cabbage butterflies, aphids and cabbage maggots. Do not plant mint near parsley.
Rosemary: Rosemary benefits the growth of sage, cabbage, beans and carrots by deterring cabbage moths, bean beetles and, if cutting are placed around carrot crowns, carrot flies. Again, don’t plant rosemary near basil or the rosemary will die.
Sage: Another herb to pair with beans, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and carrots as it repels cabbage moths, black flea beetles, carrot flies and some bean parasites. Again, sage grows well with rosemary, but do not plant it close to rue, cucumbers or onions.
Tarragon: A general nuisance to pests, tarragon is well-planted throughout any garden and can help enhance the flavor and growth of nearby vegetables, especially eggplant.

I suspect the best ones would have flowers that are easy to land on. Every year my mountain laurel is covered with large butterflies during it's short season. Another thing to look for in trees and shrubs are host plants for caterpillars. Oak is a good example. It doesn't have the most spectacular bloom, but I think I read somewhere that it is an important host plant for more than 20 butterflies and moths.
