Be careful – discovering local plants, wildflowers and herbs can be very addictive. You will find yourself stopping and smelling every little flower on your way.
But I would still highly recommend it. Besides the fact that it keeps you focused and present in the moment, you can find some wonderful plants and later go on to prepare your own tea or medicine. And the best news is that you don’t even have to be an expert in botany. I am still learning and discovering the flora of the area, so I used Google lense app to learn about the plants that I found on my walk.
Summer Harvest: Medicinal Treasures of HoneyLand
In one summer walk I’ve gathered a sample of medicinal plants, such as:
Betonica (Stachys officinalis) – good for the digestive system, enhances memory, used as sedative and also can be used for dying of fabric.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) – anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, diuretic, diaphoretic, astringent, expectorant, vulnerary.
St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) – an oil made from St. John’s wort has also been used topically for wound healing and a variety of other skin conditions.
And Arturo was an amazing companion on this walk.
Embracing nature’s healing simphony
In the bustling modern world, where stress and synthetic remedies often dominate, there’s a profound allure in reconnecting with the natural world and its healing offerings. Picking wildflowers and medicinal herbs embodies this ancient connection, offering benefits that extend beyond mere physical health. Unlike many pharmaceutical medications that target specific symptoms or conditions, medicinal herbs often work synergistically with the body’s natural healing processes, promoting holistic well-being. Picking medicinal herbs encourages a holistic approach to health that considers the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

If you find yourself wandering through meadows adorned with wildflowers or foraging in wooded groves for medicinal herbs, the experience reconnects you with the rhythms of nature and reminds us of our inherent kinship with the earth but also with our heritage.
