It is also one of the few basil types that can grow into small trees.</p> <p>Sacred basil is often confused with Thai basil (<em>Ocimum basilicum</em> var. <em>thyrsiflora</em>) - which is a different species. Because of this confusion and the rarer occurrence of Sacred basil, Thai basil is sometimes mistakenly used in cooking where Sacred basil is actually the correct ingredient. An example of such use can be found in the Thai dish Pad Kaprao, which is named after the Sacred basil’s Thai name <em>kaprao</em>. The difference between these two basils is that Thai basil is sweeter and more licorice-like while Sacred basil is spicier and more peppery, hence the name <em>Hot Basil</em> sometimes used as a designation.</p> <p>Besides cooking, the plant’s leaves and flowers are also used to make calming tea.</p> <p>As one of the most applied ancient medicinal plants, Sacred basil has been used to treat, among other things, common colds, headaches, and various stress disorders. For these purposes, the stem, leaves, and seeds are used.</p> <p>In traditional communities, the herb is also used as a natural mosquito repellent by applying the plant’s aroma to the skin.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"><span>Similarly, dried leaves have been mixed with stored grains to repel insects for hundreds of years.</span></p> <p><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation</strong><span data-mce-fragment="1">:</span></p> <p>Use well-drained, humus-rich soil and place in partial shade or full sun; it tolerates both. Thrives in moist soil but not wet. If you let the soil dry out between waterings, it will increase the plant’s aroma production (= more flavor) – this is a result of the plant’s response to stress.</p> <p>Plant in a pot with plenty of room for the roots to give the plant a chance to grow into a small tree. Bring the pot indoors before winter as the plant does not thrive at temperatures below 15<span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span>C. If the plant is slowly led into a winter rest, it can survive temperatures down to -1<span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span>C, but this slows growth.<br></p> <p>If you want the plant to focus more on leaf growth, you can cut off flower clusters before they develop.</p> <p>Basil is easy to take cuttings from; make a diagonal cut with a clean tool just below a leaf. The cutting should be about 15 cm. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting and place it in a glass of water that you change regularly.

It has long been used to ease, among other things, stress and anxiety. It is also commonly used against skin ailments such as eczema, wounds, and acne as it improves the skin’s elasticity. Gotu Kola is an adaptogen and, like <a title="Ashwagandha seeds" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/ashwagandha-indisk-ginseng-withania-somnifera" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #4e991d;">Ashwagandha </span></strong></a>, it is one of the few plants with a very broad range of uses in traditional medicine. There are many scientific articles available for those interested in learning more in depth.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">For purely medicinal purposes, extracts are made from the plant. But its health-promoting properties can also be used in food and drink.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">For example, in Burma, a salad is often made with “Pennywort” as the base together with tomato, onion, peanuts, and more. The leaves are also brewed into tea or made into a cooling drink by pressing the fresh leaves.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">There are two different varieties of Gotu Kola:</span> <br></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">One has whole, round leaves and is better suited to grow directly in water – but it also grows well in soil. This type spreads horizontally with the help of underground (or underwater) rhizomes that are somewhat thicker than the leaf stalk.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The other variety has a small gap in its leaf shape right where the leaf stalk meets the leaf – this variety spreads with the help of long, narrow above-ground runners similar to strawberries. Judging by its similar growth habit, it is easy to understand that Gotu Kola is also a good ground cover.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Both varieties contain the same active substances, but it is the latter variety that is most often used in the production of dietary supplements and so on.

It is advantageous to let it grow in loose soil with plenty of organic material as it requires moisture-retaining properties while excess water easily drains off or down into a tray. Gotu Kola can also grow in drier soils.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The Gotu Kola plant spreads quickly, so if grown in a pot, a wide pot is preferable.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">This plant usually does not grow taller than 30 cm but tends to spread horizontally up to about 1 meter.</p> <p> </p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">For this reason, it is an effective ground cover in mixed planting with other crops.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Place seeds</span><span data-mce-fragment="1"> </span><span data-mce-fragment="1">in an airtight plastic bag with moist sand/peat/seed soil in the fridge for 3 weeks. </span><span data-mce-fragment="1">Then sow</span><span data-mce-fragment="1"> in moist seed soil.

The plant originates from the area below Mursalitsa Mountain in the Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria. For a long time, this aromatic herb has been used by the people of the Rhodope Mountains for its medicinal properties and to add flavor to various drinks. Shepherds have for centuries drunk the tea to keep warm and alert during their journeys. The plant's popularity has spread beyond its native lands thanks to its unique qualities and benefits.</p> <p>Among the most valuable qualities of Greek Mountain Tea is its medicinal value. It has traditionally been used to ease digestive troubles and has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and pain. Its aromatic leaves are used to make tea and drinks that provide a refreshing and spicy taste experience.</p> <p>Most of the genus <meta charset="utf-8">Ironworts (<em>Sideritis</em>) are called "Mountain Tea," many of which are specifically called Greek Mountain Tea, although not all varieties originate from Greece.

Extracts from the plant are used internally in the treatment of asthma, colds and chills, nausea, abdominal pain, food poisoning and allergic reactions (especially those from shellfish), bronchitis and constipation (Duke.

But above all, it is a very effective accumulator of nutrients, meaning a good soil improver. Comfrey grows quickly and its roots are deep-reaching, giving the plant access to nutrients from deeper soil layers that are otherwise inaccessible to most plants. It is mainly minerals such as potassium and calcium that are stored in the leaves, but also magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, and others.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The leaves of comfrey can be cut down during the year and used as mulch, or alternatively dug into the soil, to make the nutrients available to other plants. Comfrey leaves are well suited as fertilizer for fruit trees and berry bushes thanks to their content of potassium and phosphorus.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Comfrey has a long growing season, from early winter to late autumn.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">If the leaves are not cut down before winter, they wither and similarly provide a nutrient boost to the soil they grow on. New leaves begin to grow on the plant immediately after the snow melts.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">You can also make your own liquid fertilizer from comfrey by filling a container with the leaves and then filling it with water to the brim. Let it stand for a couple of days and then mix the fertilizer water with 10 parts water to water the plants with.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Effective as an edge plant by manure heaps to prevent nutrient leakage, but also as an edge plant around crops and other places where you do not want weeds to spread. Comfrey’s dense root system acts like an underground wall, making it difficult for other roots to penetrate.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Comfrey creates an attractive environment for other plants in the cultivation – whether it is to attract pollinators or to serve as a natural fertilizer.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Comfrey is a herbaceous perennial. It thus remains in place even after the leaves have withered during winter.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">It is an incredibly easy-care plant and tolerant in choice of growing place. It can grow in shade as well as wet ground and is therefore an effective component in flooded and waterlogged soils.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">It also thrives well in drier soils in sunny places, although it prefers a somewhat moist environment.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Sow indoors or outdoors.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">If germination has not occurred after one month when sown indoors, place the sowing in the fridge for a month and then bring it back to room temperature, or alternatively place it outside during spring and summer.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Can also be sown outdoors in autumn to give the seeds a “real winter.” The seeds then germinate in spring.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Characteristics:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Lifespan: Perennial<br data-mce-fragment="1">Growing position: shade/partial shade/sun<br data-mce-fragment="1">Height: 50-100 cm<br data-mce-fragment="1">Germination time: 1-12 months<br data-mce-fragment="1">Hardiness zone: 1-6</p>

Leaves from purple-colored Shiso varieties are used in Japan to color and flavor pickles: e.g. ginger and plum. Older leaves can also be salted and used to flavor tofu and as a garnish for <i>tempura</i> . Since the leaves have a "curry-like" flavor, they are an ingredient in many soups and stews.

The leaves are used in the treatment of colds, respiratory infections, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. (Yeung. Him-Che.). The seeds are antiasthmatic, cough suppressant, emollient and expectorant. The juice from the leaves is applied to cuts and wounds (Manandhar. NP). Extracts from the plant are used internally in the treatment of asthma, colds and chills, nausea, abdominal pain, food poisoning and allergic reactions (especially those from shellfish), bronchitis and constipation (Duke. JA and Ayensu. ES). The stems are a traditional Chinese remedy for morning sickness (Bown. D.).</p> <p>Extracts of the herb have recently begun to be used in the Western world, against certain allergies and as an alternative to antibiotics and cortisone.
