I'm planning a medicinal herb garden this year and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what to grow. I have lavender, mint, basil, sage, nasturtiums and oregano already growing.

Chamomile?

How much space do you have?

Do you or your peeps have any medical conditions?

I like Feverfew, though it can take up a bit of space, but is tall and attractive

Coltsfoot makes an attractive ground cover with early flowers

Motherwort has many uses as a medicinal herb, you can dry it and make tea, rosemary is a must for tea for improving the memory and concentration, lemon balm, parsley (rich in so many vitamins), you can go on and on.

and dont go just ripping out the stinging nettles.they have loads of uses, and some great health improving properties!

Thanks all, can't believe I forgot such obvious herbs! We have masses of space, loads of patio pots and some hanging baskets to utilise. I have ME/CFS and depression but everybody else is healthy. I 'm also growing blackcurrants for the vitamin C, and have access to loads of elder trees round about for flowers/berries. And don't worry about the nettles niknik, they grow faster than I can pull them, plus we back onto woodland so there are loads there!!

I can really recommend thyme and rosemary tea as a good pick me up. I also suffer depression and neuropathic pain and it is a complete bugger, because it is not how I want to be and I have much to do and sometimes cannot get around to doing it. I have just taken delivery of some Moringa leaf powder capsules, heard great things about Moringa so going to give it a bash and see how it goes.

Well - St. John's Wort should definitely be on the cards, then... Actually, I'll have to look into that - I suspect it doesn't grow too well in our northern climate.
