A Fun Way To Learn Medicinal Herbs

Updated on February 24, 2013

Basic Homesteading Skills Lost?

Less than a century ago the use of herbs were used as common medicinal practice, and gardening was more than just a hobby. It appears that a generation or two has been skipped when passing on practical homesteading skills such as growing your own food and treating oneself with natural remedies. The amount of young adults today who simply have never planted a garden might seem alarming a hundred years ago; however today basic homesteading has become no longer needed with the abundance of options for food and medicine currently available.

Thanks to recent research and documentaries like Food Inc have more and more Americans become more aware how unhealthy most of these options have become. This has sparked a new desire for young Americans to turn back to their grass roots and learn practical living skill such as growing their own food.

As the truth is revealed how the products we use and consume on a daily basis, such as household cleaners, food and personal care products are made, have more decided to start making healthier decisions. It is very important that as we relearn what once where common living skills, that we pass this knowledge down to our children. Even if one never has to use such skills it is important for everyone to at least know how to grow food and to know of the natural options that are available to them.
