i was reading a book called : RHS(Royal Horticultural Society ) and was surprised to learn that our country of origin morocco is classified as number 1 ( countries of most variety of plants and trees in africa and all the medeterranian countries)
the main reason of reading this book is :

i was trying to find the exact name used in english to label a
herb which is very popular in morocco
after some research and getting lost between the websites and the book yorika i found it :
lemon verbena i went to the local garden centre and i bought few pots of this herb


Lemon verbena is used for the following
Aloysia triphylla benefits:

strengthening the nervous system
de-stressing
anti-spasmodic
expectorant
helps with digestion
easing colic
feverish cold
reducing fevers

ptdrwajdia, ptdrwell done

my mum said to me it s good for migraine but didn t know the name in english it took me few days to find it

i found it in the garden centre in the UK
i think you can buy it online from herbal suppliers but i think it s better consumed in a nice cup of tea from fresh leaves .
