Medicinal plants are essential in a garden and have many advantages for both us and our vegetables. In addition, they are very easy to grow and very resistant to both diseases and pests.

Today we have a rather special medicinal plant that must be taken with great care. It is Khat, a bush native to Africa that is quite common and easy to obtain.
I say that it must be taken with care because although it is a medicinal plant with several uses, mainly stimulating appetite and vitality, it is also used as a pseudo drug. It has very mild effects and is not illegal in most countries, but if it is taken constantly it can have cognitive consequences for the person taking it.
It is chewed in the same way as coca leaves are in Bolivia. If it is used occasionally or for a serious problem, then it is very useful. If it is used as a stimulant drug, then its problems are worse than its benefits. In any case, it is better to contact a specialist before starting to use it.
