The Windowsill Pharmacy

Janet M. Bryan

A sunny windowsill can hold more relief than most medicine cabinets, once you know what to plant. This is the case for five simple pots: mint for upset stomachs, chamomile for restless evenings, thyme for coughs, calendula for scrapes, and rosemary for tired minds, with plain instructions for growing, harvesting, and turning each one into a tea, rinse, or salve. Grounded, homey, and built for a household that likes to handle small things itself.
