The Natural Herbal Living Magazine and Herb Box

627 Words2 Pages

Anyone who knows me knows I love gardening. I love growing my own vegetable and herbs. I love the look, feel and smell of natural food. However, I have two really big problems: 1) I am not always sure what to do with all the herbs I have managed to grow over the years and 2) I live in Maryland and can only grow herbs and vegetables a few months a year. Needless to say, when Christie approached me about reviewing the Natural Herbal Living Magazine and Herb Box, I jumped at the chance. The Natural Herbal Living Magazine and Herb Box solve both of my problems. They have a subscription plan that allows you to learn about each herb not only on an intellectual level, but on a physical one as well.

I received a copy of the Stinging Nettles Box. Initially, when it came, my first thoughts were, “Stinging nettles…you mean the things that caused me so much pain when playing hide-and-seek in the woods as a child? What can they be good for?” To my surprise, stinging nettles can be used to treat joint pain, arthritis, urinary problems and hay fever (allergic rhinitis). (I must admit that since I started drinking nettles tea, I have not taken my allergy medicine. The scientist in me wanted to design a research study to see if I’m just suffering from a placebo effect)

Another thing I love about Natural Herbal Living Magazine and Herb Box is that they put everything you could want to know about a single herb into a central location. You can kiss your Google searches goodbye. I personally recommend printing the magazines out and putting them in a binder. I placed the binder on the shelf next to my other cookbooks. However, some people would prefer to keep them on their computer (you can load the PDF into any e-reader program).
