Always fascinating to learn about the different parts of the healing plants we have come to know and love. Thank you for some new knowledge for many, I'm sure.

We very much look forward to reading your contribution.... and we hope it helps connect you to nice memories and the festive spirit as you do.

YES to yellow limes!! We have them here in Thailand too, and a lot of non-Thai people don't know what to do with them. They're not sour enough for the traditional Thai recipes, and the rind lacks that

Thank you so much for your contribution to our challenge - appreciated. We enjoyed hearing about the connection to Ganesha and sort of almost feel HOT thinking about gorgeous hibiscus. We WOULD ask in

I think this was a special request-post for @riverflows, no? Our fav NETTLE QUEEN. We can't even THINK about nettles without thinking about her! Really appreciated knowing not just how it helped your mother,

We absolutely loved your post!! Thank you so much for contributing!! From the cultivation and its beautiful wildness to it's uses for controlling blood sugar (so important!) right through to it's fabulous

Oh wow - ANOTHER vote for this literally life-saving, powerhouse herb!! It truly IS a gift from God for healing - and it grows so abundantly and easily. Lovely to see how you're using it in daily life.

I love the idea of the rose as a healing herb!! And indeed it is!! Such beauty, such a gentle healer that has captured hearts and our collective imagination for millennia. Superb. Such a lovely contribution

Great to hear about another believer in plants, fruits, vegetables and all things natural. We love that. 😍 Joining us for this challenge with a POST about the herb YOU are MOST THANKFUL for?? Fingers

Hey @jhero22 - nice comment... 😊 How about a POST in our Herbal Hive Challenge about a local Philippine's herb that you're thankful for? Could be a flavour oyu add to food for health, or a medicinal herb.

We'd love to see a POST from you in our challenge about what herb YOU are MOST THANKFUL for. 🤗

Something so profoundly OPTIMISTIC about the bright calendula flowers!! The longer one spends in Asia, I think the more one equates the colour orange with healing, meditation and balance. I'm super glad

haha your aunt was VERY optimistic putting it in soup!! I've sometimes used it in a cool smoothie drink, paired with lime and mint and it's kinda nice. Usually just chomp down on the raw leaf, which turns

Totally second that thought @riverflows - and loving to see more cultural perspectives in The Herbal Hive.

We LOVE that you're honestly NOT a herb fanatic, but basically someone who understands their value and maybe likes to learn a bit more. Vernonia is an AMAZING herb and has so many clinically proven uses.

Standing ovation for being brave enough to post when things are less than perfect. 😍 Drying herbs is quite a skill and the HOW varies enormously on where and when. Really loving your idea of the sun oil

Herbal Hive is mighty happy to be breathing again.... phew!! 😆 There is NOTHING quite like the fresh fragrance of a herb still growing - no matter how good our technique, it never quite catches or preserves

Looking forward to learning from you! Pinching pics is what it is, and we all need to do it rather often. As long as they're clearly attributed and from relatively open source and not "stolen",

A really classic choice, and we KNOW that classics become exactly that for a reason. Really looking forward to your post! x
