The health benefits of the self heal plant are so amazing! Sadly, self heal (Prunella vulgaris) is often overlooked or dismissed as an unwanted weed. But that’s a mistake!

The versatile self-heal plant is also a great herb to turn to for many everyday health complaints. For example, self heal can help to relieve:
► Minor scrapes, cuts, and burns
► Sore throats
► The itchy, weepy redness of conjunctivitis
► and much more…
I’ll also share two favorite self heal recipes in this episode to protect your skin and keep you cool.
