Natural Remedy (Free verse) by richa

Mint and witch hazel cures most things short of an illness. A sprig and a branch a half-thumb deep in hand-turned soils grown to its limits. To prune, pestle to taste if needs be.

The first verse is funny, since witch hazel is used on bruises and inflammations, and mint tea is supposed to be very healtful for many ills. Mint doesn't propogate well from seeds; shoots are best. I don't know about witch hazel. Mint doesn't grow tall, witch hazel does. "To taste if need be" but does anyone taste witch hazel?
