Best Answer

While there are many medicinal plants I will give you a mere few:

1. Hollycock: the flowers were used in cases of respiratory and inflammatory ailments and the root extracts to make marshmallow sweets.

2. Garlic has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes and as a culinary herb. In the middle ages it was eaten daily as a protection against the many plagues that ravished the European nations at the time. In world war one tons of garlic was used as a wound dressing because of its antibacterial agents.

3. Chamomile is used for the relief of gastric distress, it is actually the tea peter rabbits mother gave to him when he overindulged in the old mans farm.

There are many, many plants that have medicinal properties. The aloe vera plant is one that can be used immediately after being cut. The leaf of the aloe vera plant contains a gel like matter that is used in the making of hand/body creams, hand soaps and other topical products for sensitive skin. See the Related Links for more information about medicinal plants and their uses.
