| Hello RutabagaRachel & welcome to the Herbalism forum. I love your question! I should plant a garden like that! Of course, what would grow best depends on how much sun/shade and what kind of soil/drainage you have, but here's an off-the-top-of-my-head list (great for PMS too): tonics/hormone balancers dandelion (yup, that weed) red clover red raspberry black cohosh - gorgeous flowers! mugwort - potentially invasive 'weed' & can increase bleeding! dong quai - can increase bleeding! chaste tree (vitex) flax (ground seeds) evening primrose (root & ground seeds) nerve soothers, sedatives & anti-depressants oats (use both the green stems & fresh seedheads) lemon balm feverfew valerian hops - potentially invasive california poppy st. joan's wort - don't use with chemical anti-depressants motherwort passionflower roses!! help with heavy bleeding (flooding) shepherd's purse yarrow stinging nettles breast nourishing lady's mantle calendula UTI preventors yarrow & dandelion (again) marshmallow - beautiful flowers! That's a start. I'm sure the good folks here can add lots more to the list. ~bushpoet |
