      You tube has a ton of info, just type in what you want to know. Don’t miss plantain, it grows everywhere & does so much. Good for tea, young leaves are good in salad, leaves steeped in coconut oil make soothing skin cream too.

    I used to have a lot of purple coneflowers, echinacea, growing in front of my front porch, along with several other types of wildflowers. They’re easy to grow perennials, but don’t come back forever. I never made tea from it but you can use every part of the plant, flowers, leaves, stems, and roots. It’s supposed to be good for your immune system. Native Americans and the first settlers drank echinacea tea.

    Mint and sage are both easy to grow and will come back for several years. Moxie, one of America’s first soft drinks, is flavored with gentian root extract, I tried it once and didn’t like it. https://www.drinkmoxie.com/products.php

    I was diagnosed of RA in 2009. I was put on Naprosyn and after some time i didn’t feel any different, so i started on a Natural Rheumatoid Arthritis Formula treatment protocol from RICH HERBS FOUNDATION (www. richherbsfoundation. com), the treatment made a great difference for me, it effectively treated my Rheumatoid Arthritis and symptoms. The swellings, stiffness, fatigue and joint/muscle/body pains has subsided, I feel better overall than i have felt in years.
