Hibiscus, one among the medicinal plants that grow much bigger, taller, and wider when compared to all the ones we had discussed above. This is a flowering plant that is very appealing in its looks. You can start this plant in a flower pot in the early stages but soon would have to relocate these medicinal plants to a different spot as they grow.

For The Kids & Adults

The leaves and flowers are very healthy for hair and skin in children. Instead of using shampoo and soaps, it is better to grind these leaves or make a powder out of it and use it. Apply pulp from the leaves to the skin to heal wounds. Hibiscus tea can also heal stomach problems and reduce obesity in young children. One can consume this tea also to treat constipation, cancer, liver disease, and the symptoms related to cold.

There are few more plants like Lavender, Calendula, Rosemary, Ashwagandha, etc which are not suitable for all the regions as they depend on the weather conditions as well. These plants have not been covered in this article as well as in the previous article. Maybe, I would try to cover them soon.
