The medicinal plants (herbs) we see around us are part of our daily environment. Ever since I started learning and understanding the world, I’ve learned from my parents and grandparents how to use the local medicinal trees and leaves that can be found nearby. Herbal plants have been a great help to us, especially since pharmacies are far away and not easily accessible. There are many kinds of plants we find in our backyard that can be used as herbal remedies for various illnesses — skin problems, swelling, stomach aches, diarrhea, fever, headaches, cough, colds, urinary tract infections (UTI), postpartum issues, wounds, and injuries caused by sharp objects. For all these health problems, we have simple and quick remedies using these local medicinal plants.
