Why Grow Your Own Medicinal Herbs?

Growing herbs yourself provides multiple benefits: fresh herbs are dramatically more potent than dried; you control the growing conditions (no pesticides, your choice of soil amendments); seasonal harvest timing is in your hands; cost is much lower than buying dried herbs long-term; the gardening relationship deepens your understanding of the plants. Many traditional herbalists consider growing your own herbs an essential step in deepening herbal practice.

What Varieties Are Available?

Specific variety selection rotates seasonally. Strictly Medicinal's catalog includes hundreds of herbs ranging from common (chamomile, calendula, echinacea) to uncommon (mullein, motherwort, blue vervain, ashwagandha, holy basil) to rare (specific Ayurvedic and TCM herbs).
