The good thing about plants is that they grow nearly everywhere and only run away in extremely rare circumstances. The even better thing about them is that herbs, weeds and Co can be used in multiple and helpful ways.
Stinging nettle: They aren’t only annoying but also really useful. First, you can cook tasty soup of them. Second, you can twist their fine cords into a fishing line and more.
Raspberry and blackberry shrubs: These berries are really tasty. Yet, you should watch out! Eat only those growing high above. Animals like to relieve themselves on lower ones, eating them can cause tapeworms. Furthermore, their leaves are suitable for an aromatic tea.
Ribwort: Plantain grows on any wild meadows. When you have to treat a wound or an insect bite just grind it, chew it a little and place it on the injured skin. Plantain has an anti-inflammatori effect and slightly alleviates pain.
Meadowsweet: The roots and sprounds are not only eatable, but as suitable for wound care as plantain.
