If you are only buying a bunch of cilantro for taco night and chives for your baked potato soup&#8230;you are missing out on all the other ways that herbs can enhance your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herbs are a <a href=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/20-herbs-to-grow-for-medical-home-remedies\/\">powerhouse for healing<\/a> and every homesteader and natural mother should have an arsenal of herbs in her home apothecary. Herbs also allow you to bring the food supply right to your doorstep. They are <a href=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/31\/growing-herbs-indoors-for-winter\/\">easy to grow<\/a> making them an economical ingredient, no matter their intended use. They are visually beautiful and a great way to add a bit of nature to your home decor. Beyond that they are deliciously flavorful and elevate just about any meal you make. Add herbs to the mix for some next level living, cooking, home decor, and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> <br>Herbs for Cooking and Eating <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fats such as oil and butter deepen the flavor of herbs. Fold some chopped herbs like thyme, rosemary, ramps, or chives into softened butter, form into logs using plastic wrap or even better a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"reusable beeswax wrap (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2UJqh6S\" target=\"_blank\">reusable beeswax wrap<\/a> and refrigerate.

Add rosemary to iced teas and mint to hot teas. A small handful of parsley leaves and stems makes a great addition to green juices for a nice boost of antioxidants and Vitamin C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try your hand at making herb centered dishes such as tabbouleh, pesto, and caprese salads. Add them to unexpected dishes such as potato salad or grilled cheese. A grilled caprese sandwich with basil is to die for! Oh and don&#8217;t forget herbs in the ice cream. My <a href=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/12\/ylang-ylang-and-fennel-ice-cream\/\">homemade Ylang Ylang and fennel ice cream<\/a> is scrumptious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Herbs As Happy Home Decor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" src=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/herbs-kitchen-counter-decor.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/herbs-kitchen-counter-decor.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/herbs-kitchen-counter-decor-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/herbs-kitchen-counter-decor-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/herbs-kitchen-counter-decor-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/herbs-kitchen-counter-decor-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep your herbs fresh and out in beautiful displays so you will be inspired to use them. You can grow several different types of herbs in your house and it doesn&#8217;t take up much room to do it. \u00a0They grow easily in containers.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll need area by a window for them to get sunlight and a container for them to live in that has proper drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can go on shelves, in cute planter boxes, in tin cans, on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2U1yPsx\">rolling Ikea carts<\/a>, in baskets, and even arranged to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2U0kbC1\">hang from the ceiling<\/a> or in front of windows (see below). I love love living decor and houseplants and herbs kicks that up a notch with their wondrous aromas and flavors. Even bundling them for drying or pressing herbs behind glass makes for beautiful decor.

A good rule of thumb is to use an ounce of herb mixed with a\npint of boiling water and allowed to steep for eight to ten minutes.&nbsp; A similar process called cold extracting,\nrequires herbs to be steeped in cold water for several hours.&nbsp; An even longer process is called tincture,\nwhere dried herbs are steeped in a solution of equal parts water and alcohol\nfor at least two weeks, then strained and stored in clean disinfected glass containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, poultices are very common and are applied directly onto\nwounds, rashes and other affected areas.&nbsp;\nSimply take the medicinal parts of herbs or plants, crush or bruise them\nand heat in a small amount of water or alcohol to produce a pulpy result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a list of herbs and plants that make for a good start to\nyour healing garden.&nbsp; Not only do these\nhave a medicinal value,&nbsp; but they also\nserve as an attractive addition to any garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone knows that <strong>BASIL<\/strong> is a wonderful culinary herb, but it can also be an effective remedy \u00a0for headaches, stomach pains and when made into a poultice will help relieve insect bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GARLIC<\/strong> is used in everyday cooking, but has hundreds of medicinal uses.\u00a0 It has a good reputation for lowering blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Yd20Ze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/planter-shelves-home-decor.jpg?fit=520%2C520\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/planter-shelves-home-decor.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/planter-shelves-home-decor-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/planter-shelves-home-decor-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/planter-shelves-home-decor-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/planter-shelves-home-decor-520x520.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LAVENDER<\/strong> is a beautiful addition to the garden and good for stomach ailments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LEMON BALM<\/strong> is great in a poultice and applied applied directly onto sores and insect bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who doesn\u2019t like a sprig of <strong>MINT<\/strong> in iced tea or various cocktails?\u00a0 It also helps relieve vomiting, diarrhea, and feelings of nausea.\u00a0 Spearmint and peppermint make nice cups of tea on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PARSLEY<\/strong> is very well known for its overall nutritional value.\u00a0 It is also commonly used as a cure for bad breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>THYME<\/strong> makes an effective tea for sore throats and a good all around antiseptic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are hundreds of other herbs and plants that can be grown in the healing garden, but give these basics a try.\u00a0 They are attractive, they offer a pleasing aroma and they\u2019re easy to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kick-it-Up-a-Notch-With-Herbs.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22778\" width=\"307\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kick-it-Up-a-Notch-With-Herbs.png 735w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kick-it-Up-a-Notch-With-Herbs-100x150.png 100w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kick-it-Up-a-Notch-With-Herbs-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kick-it-Up-a-Notch-With-Herbs-347x520.png 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herbs are much more than a garnish.
