Herbs are plants full of benefits.Sage and thyme infusions are perfect for cough and hoarseness.Sage itself has an antiseptic effect and reduces sweat secretion, but may inhibit lactation in women lactating. Thyme has a bactericidal, fungicidal and expectorant effect. Peppermint leaves (fresh and dried) aid digestion.
Rosemary has a disinfecting and stimulating effect, and when added to a warm bath, it supports blood circulation.Herbs grown on the plot, provided they are well protected and covered, can provide fresh raw material even until mid-November.
If we grow them in containers on the balcony, in autumn and winter they should be moved to a bright basement or other room with a positive temperature - then we will enjoy the taste of fresh herbs for longer.In order to be able to use herbs as long as possible, this raw material must be properly secured.
Fresh leaves can be stored in a dry container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, but can also be frozen or dried in a ventilated place.Freezing minimizes the loss of essential oils and other he alth-promoting substances.Dry herbs are stored in sealed containers, protecting them from light, in a dry and cool place.
