🌸 Grow Your Own Pharmacy This Spring – Here’s How

Hey R&R Fam,

Spring is finally here — can you feel it? The sun lingers a little longer, the birds sound a bit chirpier, and the soil feels just right beneath your fingers. If you’ve ever felt the urge to dig in the dirt and grow something with purpose, now is the perfect time. 🌱

In the spirit of renewal, I invite you to grow your own pharmacy — quite literally. Imagine stepping outside and snipping a few leaves of peppermint to ease a headache, or plucking fresh lavender to steep into your nighttime tea. There’s something empowering and healing about knowing your medicine grew under your care.

So today, we’re diving into 10 healing herbs every home garden should have — whether you’re working with acres or apartment window sills.

Top 10 Healing Herbs to Grow This Spring

• Aloe Vera – The skin savior. Easy to grow, especially in pots. Break off a leaf and use the gel for burns or even digestive support.

• Chamomile – Think of this as a bedtime hug in plant form. Great for teas, skin calming, and relaxation.

• Echinacea – The immune defender. Bright and beautiful in the garden, and helpful during cold season.

• Garlic – Nature’s antibiotic. Plant it once, and you’ll never want to buy it at the store again.

• Ginger – A bit tricky to grow, but so worth it for its anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory powers.

• Lavender – Not just pretty — this one supports sleep, mood, and skin health.

• Peppermint – Fast-growing and a digestive dream. Also excellent for headaches and sinus issues.

• Rosemary – The memory booster. Hardy and fragrant, it doubles as a culinary herb too.

• Turmeric – The golden healer. Anti-inflammatory and beautiful. Requires warmth and patience, but pays off in health benefits.

• Valerian – The sleep whisperer. A strong sedative herb, best for those with insomnia or high stress.
