Introduction

This blog is created to bring awareness about the medicinal plants which are treated as wastes and weeds. 

Now-a-days i see many people cover the soil by cementing it or by beautiful floor tiles around their house inside their compound, not giving space for even a single plant. If they need they are going for potted ornamental plants only. When I came to India with my family I had a great shock when I visited my house i.e. my in-law's house, of course it is in the city Coimbatore. Earlier the beautiful house was surrounded by many plants and trees along with the weeds. But during my visit I saw everything was cleared and tiled. Not even a single green leaf there. When my daughter asked her grandmother for the lovely flowers, tasty fruits and the greens from the wonderful weeds to eat I was surprised from the answer from my AMMA. (I used to call my mother-in-law like this since she is so lovely and caring). The child got the answer "whatever you want I will bring it from a vegetable shop". When I asked I got the answer "All the plants were making the place dirty by withering the leaves and other parts. The maid refused to maintain the garden". I am telling this because people are not aware of the benefits of the plants. My husbands granny used to prepare delicious foods by using many weeds. I have learnt very few things from her. I am going to share these with you my friends and try to be fit, not emptying your pocket by spending to medicines. 

I will try to present about the benefits of some weeds as well as the preparation of foods by using them.
