    Herbs.

    Many herbs grow now that were used for medicines. Long ago the people used to boil young nettles as cabbage and eat it.
    Watercress is very good to purify the blood. Ivy boiled is good for stains.
    Dandelion is good for cuts. Pound the root and put into the cut.
    Garlic is good for a toothache. Tie the leaf to your wrist.
