It is therefore important to store the herbs and spices in a proper way so that the benefits you are likely to achieve from them are boosted. To store herbs, be sure to dry them effectively using the hanging method in small bundles in a cool, dry hiding place or using a dehydrator if possible. After drying they should be put in airtight glass jars or other dark containers to prevent exposure to light and humidity. Write the herb on the jars you use to ensure you know which one is fresh if it was harvested recently. Many people trim the herbs while still wet, hence it is wise to make sure that the herbs are stored away from heat and humidity.

For basic blends, ordinary plants effective for treatment embrace camomile, peppermint, and ginger. Scones are versatile biscuit-like product that can be served during breakfast, tea, lunch or dinner – simply mix flour, baking powder and sodium bicarbonate, add dried fruits or nuts and bake for 8-12 minutes. Peppermint is useful in controlling headaches, migraine and gastrointestinal disorders. Massage it on the temple for treatment of headache or take peppermint tea for digestion. Ginger For nausea and inflammation, slice fresh ginger and boil it in water for tea, preferably warm. Turmeric paste formed by ground turmeric with a pinch of black pepper may be treated directly to the affected joints or mixed with food to reduce inflammation. The final natural remedy is Echinacea tea which reinforces immune system during cold season through brewing dried echinacea in hot water.
