Herbs, spices and essences

The articles in your Sunday edition (The Jakarta Post, Oct. 21, 2001) about tropical herbs are interesting. Such a wide subject as their growing, treatment, fertilizing -- organic or not -- being one of the modern herbal concerns, deserves a lot more attention in your health page.

Why not one herb or spice and its application per week?: the "herb corner and picture". Also, the essential essences and their plants, of which we have so many in Indonesia.

What about a garden corner? Not everybody lives at high density. Use the benefits of Mother Nature!
