Nature is all the rage these days. Wild plants have become a feature in our diets. And that’s no surprise. Some of these native plants<\/a> have jaw-dropping properties that will benefit you and your family. You will cheer if you know that you can find some of them in your backyard.<\/p>\n

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Wild Plants<\/h2>\n

Like drugs, plants have their strengths and weaknesses. Anyone who considers using them should consult a doctor.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Few side effects<\/strong> – First of all, wild plants have fewer side effects than drugs. They are organic, which makes them safer to consume than herbal medicine.<\/li>\n
  2. Treats chronic conditions<\/strong> – Also, many herbs, though slower to work, can treat chronic illnesses better than drugs can. Herbalists often use them to treat arthritis or joint pain.<\/li>\n
  3. Low Cost<\/strong> – Furthermore, herbs are less costly than prescription medicines. The research and testing involved in producing pharmaceutical drugs often drive up their costs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Cons<\/h3>\n

    Herbs, like prescription medicines, aren’t always useful.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Not right for all conditions<\/strong> -First of all, wild plants aren’t suitable for treating all illnesses. Herbalists can’t treat trauma, such as broken legs, as well as a conventional doctor can.<\/li>\n
    2. No dosage instructions<\/strong> -Also, there are few if no instructions about safe dosing. You may harm yourself by overdosing on the herb. Conversely, you may take too little of them, which may make them ineffective.<\/li>\n
    3. Medication interactions<\/strong> -Finally, wild plants may interact with your medications. Valerian and St. John’s Wort, two herbs that are well-known for treating depression, may interfere with antidepressants. Again, it’s always wise to consult a doctor before consuming them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      8 Wild Plants with Powerful Medicinal Properties You Overlooked in Your Garden<\/h3>\n

      Wild plants remain a confusing mystery. It’s hard to decide which to take and which to avoid. Here is a list that may prove useful<\/p>\n

      1. Lady Fern<\/h4>\n

      First of all, is Lady Fern. If you are a native to the Pacific Northwest, you’ll probably know about its healing properties. This herb<\/a> releases compounds that cure burns and minor cuts.<\/p>\n

      2. Chickweed<\/h4>\n

      The next wild plant that has proven useful for ailments is Chickweed. Chickweed leaves are a delicious addition to salads. They are popular because of their high Vitamin C content.<\/p>\n

      Because it has anti-inflammatory properties, it soothes skin irritations and rashes caused by Psoriasis. One review<\/a> shows that it has excellent weight loss<\/a> properties as well. Researchers found that this herb dealt with obesity in rats.<\/p>\n

      3. Bloodflower<\/h4>\n

      Another herb on this list is Bloodflsower or Mexican Butterfly Weed. It gets its name for obvious reasons – it’s a source of food for butterflies. This plant has vibrant orange blooms and matching gray stems. It’s a valuable heart stimulant and useful for treating injuries.<\/p>\n

      4. Dandelion<\/h4>\n

      This wild plant is worthy of mention, and not just because it looks fabulous. Parts of this plant serve as remedies for minor illnesses. The leaves are a natural diuretic, while its blossoms make a delicious salad.<\/p>\n

      Furthermore, dandelion root<\/a> makes a delightful addition to a salad. It treats various skin conditions, such as eczema and acne. One study<\/a> discusses the potential that it might have some potential for treating cancerous cells.<\/p>\n

      5. Tansy<\/h4>\n

      Then, there is Tansy, a member of the Aster family that’s found all over Europe. It’s used to flavor beer and repel insects. It’s also used to treat worms. One study<\/a> indicates that it might\u00a0treat Herpes, a disease which causes sores in the mouth and private areas,<\/p>\n

      6. Korean Mint<\/h4>\n

      There’s also Korean Mint, which will give your breath minty freshness. Like other members of the mint family, it has opposing leaves. It has many medicinal properties, including fighting nausea, calming anxiety, and easing digestion. Use the leaves to brew tea or in food.<\/p>\n

      7. Lamquarter<\/h4>\n

      Lambsquarter<\/a> is another herb that’s full of nutrients. It also pleases the tongue. This valuable herb is part of the Goosefoot family. It’s best known for treating anemia.<\/p>\n

      8. Malva<\/h4>\n

      Finally, there’s Malva, which many Asians use to treat inflammatory diseases. It’s edible raw or in soups. Malva’s also a remedy for sore throats. As a poultice, it can treat burns as well.\u00a0This study<\/a>, published in the Iran Journal of Basic Medicine, confirms that it has wound-healing properties.<\/p>\n

      The next time you’re in your garden, don’t rush to get rid of the wild plants you may find<\/strong>. They may have more uses than you realize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
