Known by most as a hostile weed, dandelion is actually a versatile and beneficial plant. The flowers can be used to make delicious wine, and the root can be used as a healthy substitute for coffee – or as plant medicine.

The go-to plant medicine for immunity! Rich in vitamin C and iron, elderberry is an excellent flu and cold remedy. Elderberry is antiviral, packed full of bioflavonoids and has twice the antioxidants of blueberries.

Sage is not associated with wisdom for no reason… it is a vital plant medicine for those struggling with mental acuity and offers long-term protection against dementia. It helps with excessive sweating, menopause-related symptoms like hot flashes, and is also an effective plant medicine for treating laryngitis. It can be taken as a tincture or as a refreshing tea which helps heal sore throats and toothaches when gargled. Sage is also delicious when used in cooking a variety of dishes.

4. Yarrow

Every plant medicine collection should have yarrow in. It is antimicrobial, and a few drops of the tincture or the powder helps staunch blood flow, disinfects and heals wounds.
