  1. Herbs Still in Use

    Share Share Post
    The Dandelion
    This herb is still much used for its curative properties. In some cases the roots are boiled and dandelion tea is made from them. The stem is also used for chewing and the juice is considered very medicinal. This herb is used by people suffering from kidney or bladder trouble.
    The Nettle
    Nettles are still used as a cure of a skin disease, common amongst children. The roots are boiled and tea is made of them. The tea is creamed and sweetened like ordinary tea.
