Plants that Heal, Plants that Hurt

By Joanna Christine DeSalvo
May 20, 2004

There are many herbs in the world that are helpful. But then there are also a great deal of them that are harmful.

Saint Johns Wort is an herb used to get you to sleep better at night but don't make too much tea out of it or you may be asleep for a whole day! Buttercups are a flower that were long ago thought to cure headaches but in fact buttercups are extremely poisonous plants. Never eat them! But not everything long ago was so wrong. They also believed that lavendar when made into a compress was calming. This was in fact a very true statment.

Herbs are helpful but remember if you use to much of something good it might end up turning bad. Never underestimate the power herbs have but also never take it for granted.

About the author: My name is Joanna and I love to write. Herbology is something I have found a great interest in. It may come in handy someday when I'm lost and hurt. I haven't yet had a book published but will probably have a book of poetry out by 2005 under the pen name Sage. But then again I might not have a pen name. Who ever really knows?
