 The 10 Medicinal Plants You Should Plant For A Complete Backyard Pharmacy

With even limited space it is possible to grow a medicinal garden capable of taking care of most common illnesses and problems.

Most of these plants do best with room to spread out, but you can grow them in smaller spaces or even in pots. As a bonus, they are attractive plants that can double as a flower garden.

Most of these are easily used as a dried herb or brewed into a tea. You’ll find that they work just as well as the pharmaceutical drugs you currently use.

Chicory – Cichorium Intybus
Chicory is often grown for use as a coffee substitute and that alone is a good reason to have it in your garden.

Yarrow – Achillea Millefolium
It grows well in temperate regions across the US. The leaves are edible and quite good in salads when picked young.
Yarrow is a good, all-purpose medicine with any uses. All parts of Yarrow are medically active.

California Poppy – Eschscholzia Californica
Also known as the golden poppy, the California poppy has a limited growing range, but if it will grow in your area, it is worth the space in your medicinal garden.
It is native to the western US and grows in coastal and desert regions and in foothills and valleys.

Peppermint – Mentha Piperita
Peppermint is an excellent choice for your medicinal garden because of its use with stomach problems and muscle relaxation.

Chamomile – Matricaria Chamomilla
Chamomile is another easy to grow plant for your medicinal garden. The German variety, Matricaria chamomilla, is the best variety for medicinal use.

Evening Primrose – Oenothera Biennis
Evening primrose is a biennial, herbaceous plant.
Evening primrose is useful for balancing the hormones and treating hormonal problems in both men and women.

Meadowsweet – Filipendula Ulmaria
Meadowsweet is a beautiful and fragrant plant. It grows well in partial shade and likes moist soil.
Plant it in a well-draining location and mulch it well to hold in moisture.

Echinacea – Echinaceae Purpurea
echinaceaThere are three Echinacea species which have medicinal uses: E. purpurea, E. angustifolia, and E. pallida. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.

Calendula – Calendula Officinalis
calendulaAlso known as pot marigold, calendula is one of my favorite herbs.
It is incredibly soothing for skin conditions including acne, eczema, sunburns, and rashes.

Feverfew – Tanacetum Parthenium
feverfewAlso known as wild chamomile and bachelor’s buttons, feverfew is part of the sunflower family and is a perennial.

Generations of Europeans have relied on feverfew as a home remedy for reducing fevers and pain. It can be added to teas, or one can simply chew one of the leaves.
For localized arthritis pain or muscle pain, a poultice made from crushed feverfew leaves placed over the affective area is sufficient. It relieves the pain and calms the inflammation over the joint.

The Medicinal Plants Hiding in Your Backyard (for every US State)

A hundred years ago 70% of all medicines were made from plants. Most of them are still being used today, but only a few people truly know about them. The Pharmaceutical Industry almost made this knowledge obsolute. But in my opinion this knowledge should not be lost. We might need it when things go really bad.
