1. Chamomile (Listed in the image as equivalent to Paracetamol)
Actual Purpose: Helps relax, reduces stress, supports sleep, and mildly relieves stomach cramps.
How to Use: Brew as a tea. Steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried chamomile in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Drink a cup about 30 minutes before bed for better sleep.

Actual Purpose: Supports cardiovascular health, boosts the immune system, and has mild antibacterial properties.
How to Use: * It is best to mince or crush raw garlic and leave it exposed to the air for about 10 minutes before eating or cooking to activate the compound Allicin.
Use it as a seasoning for cooking, or ferment it in honey or vinegar.
4. Clove (Illustrated in the image for Amoxicillin)
Actual Purpose: Provides temporary toothache relief, supports digestion, and acts as a warming culinary spice.
How to Use: * For toothaches: Gently chew a clove bud at the site of the pain, or use a cotton swab to dab a little diluted clove essential oil onto the painful area.
Culinary: Use a few buds to add aroma to soups, stews, or teas.
5. Mint / Peppermint (Illustrated in the image for Ibuprofen)
Actual Purpose: Soothes mild stomachaches, reduces bloating, and clears nasal passages during a cold.

Actual Purpose: Soothes mild burns and sunburns, moisturizes the skin, and makes a cooling beverage.
How to Use: * Topical: Extract the clear gel from inside the leaf (make sure to discard the yellow sap as it causes irritation) and apply it directly to sunburned skin.
Oral: Carefully prep the gel (wash away the slimy residue) to cook in sweet soups or blend into a refreshing drink.
