  1. Herbs

    Share Share Post
    Herbs grown in many places in my district. Some herbs cure sickness. The ones I know are Robin-run-the-hedge. It is for the blood or Sciatica. It grows in the ditches. Nettles are another great cure for the blood only the leaves are put down to boil. Bullock's tongue is used for a back ache. There are many other weeds which cure other diseases. Herbs grow wild in fields and ditches.
