Aloe Vera - the queen of plants

before we decided to grow Aloe Vera in Thailand for making the healthy aloe vera juice, we had studied about this plant for a couple of months...I am so stunned by this plant and its benefits, that I have decided to share some interesting facts also with you.
Most of us know about Aloe's beneficial effect on the skin, and how this magic flower successfully heals burns. But you may not know that it is widely used against constipation, or that it even contains vitamin B12...plus much more!

My grandma🥰 used to tell me, every plant is a herb...it can heal, but also harm. You must be cautious. You should study them well, with kindness, gentleness, and with a huge respect to their medical benefits, but also their toxins..she was absolutely right...I'm so surprised that most of the local plants that I have already learned about, are all healing herbs...
Today, I'll share 3 very common with you...

1. Lantana🌱

2. Ipomoea Pes-Caprae - Beach Morning Glory🌱

my lovely friends, and nature lovers, welcome to my HERBAL ME new page🌺🌼🥰🙏

I've got so much to share about herbs, flowers, gardening and nature, so that I have decided to open this herbal/garden page, where I would love to write all the knowledge, and experiences (good and bad ones🤣), that I've gained since my childhood, and lately, from living in Thailand and trying to learn about the local flora. I hope, that you find my posts and stories interesting, sometimes funny, but also a bit educational.

I'll be mainly concentrating on Thai herbs, so those, who don't live in Thailand, please, forgive me - but you may also find it interersting🥰.
In the attached photo, you may see the most common Thai herbs, such are Cilantro, Parsley, Thai Basil, Dill and Rosemary. These are also herbs, that I've been growing over here, and mainly using in my kitchen and our bakery's products...especially the Thai Basil, which I call the Queen of Thai herbs!🥳

I found out, that most herbs love well-drained loam soil with the addition of aged animal manures (we use a mixture of horse/chicken and buffalo manure), compost or peat moss. Quality soil should drain well, yet retain both moisture and nutrients. I was always unsuccessful with the garden, heavy, dark soil...😢

What is your experience?
