more potent. Take a look at these spring herbs that provides excellent natural healing

are great for helping to protect you against bacteria and viruses. It can also help with 
cuts and scrapes, as well as burns, which might happen when you spend more time 
outdoors. Other healing benefits of calendula include helping with acne and eczema,

mint, so there is a long list of uses. Many of the health benefits of mint come from the
