Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “A weed is a plant whose virtue is not yet known.” Indeed, nature is undoubtedly our most valued resource in discovering potential treatments for illnesses that plague our global population. In truth, most medicine is typically derived from some naturally occurring fungi or other plant life typically found in the depths of unexplored forests and jungles—hidden gems for the willing wanderer.
Thanks to wanderers, early trading, and folk wisdom passed down through the ages, we’ve been blessed with many herbal remedies for common conditions. Native to South America, lemon verbena has spread around the globe as people share and praise its natural healing properties.
