Medicinal Plants & Herbs

Before modern medicine, humans benefited from the medicinal properties of plants and herbs for thousands of years. All around the world, people have harnessed the positive effects of various medicinal plants for uses such as pain relief, indigestion and skin irritation. 

Today, plants are still used alongside traditional medicines and antibiotics to keep people healthy. From the calming effects of patchouli, lavender and lemon balm to the anti-inflammatory effects of tarragon and stevia, you can have healthy medicinal herbs and plants delivered to your doorstep when you order from The Grower’s Exchange. Some of our best-selling medicinal plants and healing herbs include:
