This guide will help you understand how to grow and use medicinal herbs, adding both health benefits and beauty to your garden.

Selecting Medicinal Herbs:

Choose herbs that thrive in Bangalore's climate and have known medicinal properties. Herbs like tulsi (holy basil), mint, aloe vera, and lemongrass are not only easy to grow but also have various health benefits. These herbs can be used in teas, home remedies, and even in cooking.

Preparing Your Garden:

Most medicinal herbs prefer well-draining soil and a sunny location. Prepare your garden by enriching the soil with organic compost. Ensure that your planting area has good air circulation and receives adequate sunlight.

Planting and Caring for Herbs:

Plant your herbs from seeds or seedlings and provide them with consistent moisture, especially in the early stages of growth. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Use organic mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Organic Pest Control:

Protect your medicinal herbs from pests using organic methods. Natural insect repellents like neem oil can be effective. Encouraging beneficial insects in your garden also helps in controlling pests.

Harvesting and Using Medicinal Herbs:

Harvest your herbs regularly to encourage growth. Use them fresh, or dry them for later use. Medicinal herbs can be used in teas, infusions, or as natural remedies for common ailments.

The Benefits of Growing Medicinal Herbs:

In addition to their health benefits, growing medicinal herbs contributes to biodiversity and the ecological health of your garden. They attract beneficial insects and can improve soil health.
