We usually pass it by, but it is actually an invaluable natural pharmacy!

However, it is worth turning our attention again to this invaluable natural pharmacy, which is often right under our feet. Many plants that we consider weeds or simply elements of the environment actually have powerful healing properties.
Let’s consider some examples of this amazing natural pharmacy:

Dandelion: This, at first glance, ordinary flower is a real source of vitamins and minerals. Its leaves are rich in vitamin C, potassium and iron, and the root has a choleretic and diuretic effect. In spring, young dandelion leaves can be added to salads, and delicious and healthy jam can be made from the flowers.
Nettle: Despite its burning properties, nettle is an extremely valuable medicinal plant. It contains a large amount of vitamins (K, C, group B), minerals (iron, magnesium, calcium) and protein.

Nettle has a hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and tonic effect. Useful teas and decoctions are prepared from its leaves.
Chamomile: Its delicate flowers are known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Chamomile tea helps with digestive disorders, nervous tension and colds.
