Monsoon is the only season that covers the entire city with green belt and while greenery is eye pleasing and acts a fresh breath of air especially when Garden resurrect post summer when all colors are gone after dreadful summer heat . It is evident that Monsoon brings back color but it can not be ignored the uncontrollable growth of weeds in Garden after downpour.
In a Research through sources from internet it was surprising for me to know some of the plants that grow wild like weeds in my Garden had medicinal benefits.
Bhumi amla or Gale of the wind

That first one is very interesting,...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful, dear Arun, that nature gives us such robust plants that burst out of the earth "just like that" and have a health benefit?! We call them weeds, which is actually quite ungrateful...
ReplyDeleteAll the best and have a nice September week, Traude

Interesting post. We also have some common weeds, which have been used medicinally. And some, like dandelions and purslane, are edible.
ReplyDeleteWhy you are surprised? I think for every problem it is also a natural cure.
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes we forget this.
Thank you for the topic, Arun!
