These plants each treat a different aspect of this condition. Roman chamomile and lemon balm are relaxing and anti-inflammatory; chamomile can also reduce allergic reactions. Agrimony is a general digestive tonic, while marigold is healing and anti-fungal.
CULTIVATION
START by buying two plants each of Roman chamomile and lemon balm from a garden centre.
Buy two agrimony plants from a herb specialist. Marigold can be bought as pot plants or grown from seed. Plant two.
POSITION in a sunny spot.
WATER daily in hot, dry weather.
FEED monthly in summer.
MAINTAIN by trimming lemon balm.
Deadhead marigold and chamomile.
GATHER chamomile and marigold flowers as they appear. Pick aerial parts of lemon balm and agrimony as needed. PROPAGATE lemon balm from pieces of rooted stem. In autumn collect marigold seeds and resow for plants next spring. Propagate Roman chamomile by detaching a few plantlets and replanting in the pot. Propagate agrimony by dividing the root ball in autumn.
