This is a new series about medicinal plants from your garden.
First a warning: Please don’t use Roundup on your lawn or garden. RoundUp has a primary ingredient called glyphosate. That’s a neurotoxin to fish and frogs but also to humans because it disrupts the endocrine system. What does that mean? It can reduce sperm count in men and throw off hormones in women. Always buy organic.
The second warning is about genetically modified foods, those bring increased risk of non-alcoholic liver disease and chronic kidney disease. Avoid GMOs.
In your garden and lawn, you may find plants like goldenrod (anti-allergen), jewelweed, plantains, clover (antifungal), dandelions, violets (great in salads), comfrey and other common weeds with health benefits.
