Garden Pharmacy Grow your Own Medicine

About the site

This website is Beautanicals' information site. We do not sell anything from this website, and the point of the site is to add the information that we cannot include on our selling sites.

Filled with recipes and profiles that have taken thirty years to collect and trial.

All of the information is free, and only those recipes and remedies that we have found effective and useful will be onsite.

As building the site will take some time, feel free to visit often to take advantage of the continual updates.

Grow your Own

It is our personal opinion, that growing your own herbs is the absolute best way to ensure that the herb you are taking is, correct, fresh, unadulterated and always in constant supply.

If you want to buy herb seed to grow, then visit our Seed site.

For a more or less complete list of the plants growing in our gardens browse through Our Garden List.

We are pragmatic in our approach to the use of herbs and recommend that complete research is necessary before you even eat a plant, let alone use one as a medicine.

The plant world is not benign and much of the 'bad press' that has branded the use of many herbs is quite simply because people were unprepared or ill advised and the results can range from the unplesant to the absolute tragic.

All of the information contained within this site. and our other Herb sites is information that we have collected or noted over the years and applied as we have needed or wanted to.

We are neither Herbalists, Naturopaths or Homeopaths and the recipes and chemical facts regarding the herbs are from our 'Road Testing' and may not always be in agreement with traditional knowledge.

We also do not offer advice, diagnosis, or treatment plans.

We have only included information that we have used personally and we update only as we trial recipes and grow the herbs that are needed for them.

Preparation information has come from the US Pharmacopeia.

It is of extreme importance that the plant that you are preparing to use, actually IS the plant that you intend to use. Identification is the main key to success.

Common herbal preparation methods are outlined on our 'Preparations page'.

A bibliography of a few of the books that we use frequently are listed on our 'Bibliography page.'

A Glossary of terms used within the site and commonly used for descriptions, is on the 'Glossary page'.
