Herb Garden Suggestions Part 2
Even if you live in an apartment, condo, or living situation that doesn’t come with a yard or garden space you can still cultivate your own herbs in the kitchen, a sunny window sill, or patio! There are a plethora of herb garden ideas you can choose from that will literally spice up your life!
The best thing about this kind of gardening is that it really doesn’t take a lot of effort to put together. Some herb garden ideas can be as simple as throwing a few seeds in a trio of tin pails and setting them on your kitchen window sill.

There are herbs and natural supplements that people say have helped manage fibromyalgia symptoms. They include echinacea, black cohosh, cayenne, lavender, milk thistle, and B vitamins. Nevertheless, there are no definitive studies on the efficacy of these natural therapies.

Thanks. Aswell as there being no definitive studies on the efficacy of these natural therapies, each individual has a very different experience with pain and what is the root cause of the pain therefore it is hard to know what herb will help that specific individual. I see our body’s as a big chemical experiment… Amber ❤

Ah yes our bodies are big chemical factors owing to the hormons and enzymes it has. Rightly said Amber. Hope you find the herbs useful.
