Medicinal plants, Lotus flower

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.

The lotus flower is not a medicinal plant in itself, or at least not to my knowledge, but I have included it here because it is a plant considered spiritual by different cultures and in other words, it can heal the soul or the spirit.

For Buddhists, this plant represents the purity of the spirit. For Hindus, it represents fertility and life itself.
I am not a religious person at all, but I love the connection with nature and the lotus flower represents this very well. An aquatic plant that is capable of purifying water using the nutrients that are in it. Its stems and leaves support an infinite amount of life, from invertebrates to fish or amphibians. And its flower is the purest beauty. There are few things more beautiful than a lotus flower.
