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.

Rue is a little-known medicinal plant. In reality, it is more of a shrub that always remains green and can live for several years. It is not usually cultivated and is easy to find due to its rusticity in the countryside. However, you have to know it well so as not to confuse it with other plants from the same family but without its properties. So if you go out into the countryside to look for it, always go with someone who has extensive knowledge of this plant. Otherwise, you can buy it in herbalists.
As a medicinal plant, rue is mainly used as an antispasmodic. The way to prepare it is a bit complex and requires extracting the essential oils from the plant.
Rue can also be used as a sedative but always under the supervision of a specialist doctor.
