OVERLOOKED






I saw some ara tanah (a type of weeds) thrown by my mum in the dustbin. She had pulled them out from her garden. Do you know that this plant that grows wild has medicinal properties? Similarly, the two plants in the first and third pictures are also used by the Chinese medicine men as herbs.
I guess the situation can be likened to humans as well. We only consider those who look good or are acknowledged as good to be worthy. In actuality the ordinary fella who might be considered lowly, uneducated or unsightly has his own values that benefit mankind. Give a thought to this?
Look forward to the articles that I will be posting about herbs, especially the ones that we think are weeds. You'd be surprised at how valuable they can be.
