Medicinal herbs

Medicinal herbs

In general use, herbs are plants with savoury or aromatic properties that are used for flavouring and garnishing food, in medicine, or as fragrances. Culinary use typically distinguishes herbs from spices. Herbs refer to the leafy green or flowering parts of a plant (either fresh or dried), while spices are usually dried and produced from other parts of the plant, including seed, bark, rootsand fruits.
Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, and, in some cases, spiritual. General usage of the term "herb" differs between culinary herbs and medicinal herbs; in medicinal or spiritual use, any parts of the plant might be considered as "herbs", including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, root bark, innerbark (and cambium), resin and pericardia.
The word "herb" is pronounced in the commonwealth, but is common among North American speakers and those from other regions where h-dropping occurs. In botany, the word "herb" is also used as a synonym for "herbaceous plant"

Morel Mushrooms



Morel Mushrooms grow wild in the hills of Karakorum District. During the summer, they are collected by villagers. It contenting lot of  vitamins which are best for human's health. For (e.g)

Basice;
            Morel mushrooms range from tan to dark brown, they’re elongated, 2 to 4 inches long and have a cone-shaped cap covered in a honeycomb texture. Wild morels grow from April through June, depending on the region.

Vitamin D;
                 The primary source of vitamin D is sunlight because exposure to ultraviolet light triggers a vitamin D-producing process in your skin. Vitamin D is not found in many foods, especially not in plant-based foods, but it is present in mushrooms.Vitamin D also helps regulate blood pressure and stimulates messenger cells in the immune system. One cup of raw morel mushrooms provides 22 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D.

Iron;
        In addition to carrying oxygen, iron stores oxygen and senses when its levels are low. Several enzymes depend on iron to complete their biochemical processes. Iron is needed for some antioxidants, the production of genetic material essential for growth and healing and the creation of energy. Men gain 100 percent of their recommended daily intake for iron from 1/2 cup of raw morel mushrooms, while women get 22 percent of their daily value.

B Vitamins;
                   The B vitamins function as co enzymes, which means they activate enzymes that trigger biochemical reactions.Two of the B vitamins -- niacin and vitamin B-6 -- may contribute to heart health. Vitamin B-6 removes a substance from the blood that’s associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Niacin lowers levels of cholesterol and triglyceride, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.2 cup of morel mushrooms provides 16 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B-6 and niacin and 22 percent of riboflavin.

Considerations;
                              Wild morel mushrooms must be properly identified to be sure they're safe to eat. Mushrooms known as "false morels" resemble the real morels but their caps are round and they're poisonous.
