MEDICINAL WINDOW BOXES
Sufferers of migraine’s and other ailments may be interested in a medicinal window box or planter.
The Feverfew plant is known to help migraine sufferers. Eat a leaf a day and it helps keep your migraine away! It will take a couple of months to get into your system, but well worth a try (not to be used during pregnancy).
Other medicinal plants include; chamomile for its calming property, bay to stimulate and aid digestion, basil acts as a natural tranquiliser a tonic made from this calms the nervous system and also aids digestion and can help with stomach cramp. Basil tea is good for nausea.
Gargle with a tea made from thyme for coughs. Try fennel for wind and insomnia. Rosemary is a good antiseptic as well as sage.
These plants and herbs can be mixed with flowers for a beautiful window box or planter display.
AROMATHERAPY
Sleep easy with an aromatherapy window box on your bedroom window ledge.
Filled with relaxing lavender, camomile, rosemary and sweet smelling jasmine, or choose your own selection.
Breathe in and smell the aroma whilst you sleep.
BASEMENT
Make the most of a basement with a selection of patio pots and window boxes. A few carefully placed pots can make the world of difference to a dark basement patio. Jasmin on a trellis will provide interest and a great smell, team with pieris for some interesting colour and bamboo creates a contemporary look.
