Tarragon Plant and its Benefits

Have you tried "tarragon tea"?  I recently bought this herb (also known as "dragon wort" in some countries) at the Quezon City Memorial Circle where you can also buy plants and other garden supplies. According to the seller, this herb can provide several health benefits and can be used for medicinal purposes.

What the seller has said is not actually new. I have been hearing a lot about the various benefits of this herb and how it can add flavor to several culinary dishes. I did not hesitate to get a few of this and immediately planted it. This plant, at first impression, appears to be a common looking herb with small, long and light green leaves with pointed ends. It blended perfectly in the pot and I placed it in a partially sun-exposed part of the garden.

As I looked at the tarragon plant and thinking about the various health benefits it can give, I was reminded of the importance of taking care of our health. Sometimes with our very busy schedule, we often take our health for granted. We forget to monitor what we eat and we do not exercise. After a few years, the stress takes a toll on our bodies. We get sick and then we spend a lot to nurse ourselves back to health.

Health is wealth! It is something that we need to treasure. We got to take care of our body and avoid various diseases in order for us to continue traveling, playing chess or doing anything we really want to do in our life.

Of course, the tarragon plant is not a panacea to our sickness or an instant road to good health. But somehow, this shrub including the bee pollen can give us the inspiration to take care of ourselves.
