What are some examples of edible medicinal herbs?
As a homework assignment I need a list of six edible medicinal herbs and describe what they are for, what benifits, side effect ect.. Can you list some? Some links where I can research them or see what thier benifits/ side effects are would be great. 10 points for best answer. Thanks
ginger – good for upset stomach/digestion
Cinnamon – good for maintaining a healthy blood sugar
Cayenne Pepper – good for circulation and cardiovascular health
There’s thousands of herbs out there that are eaten for benefits (and all of those are referred to as "medicinal Herbs", so you’ve got quite a list to work from). You can find a LOT more information to research at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbalism
Looking at that article will also help you for your assignment because you can put them in your own words and don’t need to worry about the teacher thinking you plagiarized any of it
