Starting from the bottom left and moving clockwise: the long, green leaves are from the plantain, the larger orange and yellow flowers are calendula, the smaller star-shaped yellow flowers are St. John’s wort, and the leafy stems with tube-shaped purple flowers are comfrey.

Together or separately, these plants can be used to create various remedies. In the next post you’ll see how the process works.
