Herb Guide Chart — Printable

You have chamomile, peppermint, ginger and a jar of sage in the cupboard, maybe a box of liquorice tea a friend swore by. You use them every week but you are never quite sure what each one is for, and you have no idea whether it is fine with your blood-pressure tablets, the pill or your hay fever. The charts you find online promise miracles and say nothing about safety.

This chart puts 30 herbs on one page pair: the part used, what each is traditionally used for, how it is used and the one caution that matters. The safety column goes herb by herb through pregnancy and breastfeeding, the medicines to ask about and the allergy family. The kitchen pages give flavour, pairings, when to add each herb and the fresh-to-dried swap. A colour-coded poster shows which herbs are kitchen-easy, which to check first and which to ask about before you use them.
