Medicinal Garden Kit

“So Empowering – I Feel Like My Own Herbalist!”

By: Jessica M., Oregon

I’ve always been curious about herbal remedies but never knew where to start. This kit changed everything. The instructions were so easy to follow — even for someone like me with no gardening experience. I started with chamomile and calendula, and within weeks I was making calming teas and a skin salve that worked wonders for my dry hands. I feel more self-sufficient and connected to nature. Honestly, it’s so satisfying to walk into my garden and pick my own medicine!

“Great Quality, Minor Learning Curve”

By: Mark R., North Carolina

The seeds are top-notch — everything sprouted quickly and seems very healthy. I especially appreciate the heirloom quality and that they’re non-GMO. The guidebook is helpful, although it took me a bit of time to wrap my head around tinctures and drying methods. I wish there were more pictures or even video tutorials. That said, I’ve already made a lavender-chamomile tea and a calendula oil, and they’re awesome. Highly recommend this kit for anyone wanting to learn natural healing.

“Exactly What I Needed for My Homestead”

By: April T., Montana

As someone building a small homestead, this kit was a no-brainer. I’m already growing food, so why not grow medicine too? Nicole’s guide made it super clear how to grow and use each herb. The echinacea and yarrow came in strong, and I already used the yarrow for a cut I got while chopping wood — worked great to stop the bleeding. This is one of the most useful purchases I’ve made all year. Would absolutely buy again or gift to friends.

The Medicinal Garden Kit is a complete home-herbalism system. It’s not just random seed packets – it’s a beginner-friendly kit that combines premium herb seeds with an educational guide. Specifically, the kit includes:

✅ 10 Premium Heirloom Herb Seeds: Carefully selected for their traditional medicinal uses. The seed packets (non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom stock) are labelled and sealed for freshness. They are chosen for ease of growing in many climates and include popular herbs like chamomile, calendula, yarrow, echinacea, peppermint, valerian, lavender, marshmallow, sage, and thyme. (These herbs have long histories in folk medicine: for example, chamomile soothes digestion, echinacea supports immunity, and lavender calms the nerves.) Each packet contains hundreds of seeds – over 2,400 seeds in total – enough to fill a small garden or several pots.

✅ Printed Herbal Remedy Guide: A full-color instruction booklet titled “Herbal Medicinal Guide: From Seeds to Remedies.” This guide walks you through how to plant, grow, and harvest each herb. It also covers basic preparation techniques: how to dry herbs, make infusions and tinctures, and create simple remedies like salves, teas, decoctions, oil extracts, and more. The writing is clear and geared toward novices, with photos and easy recipes. Whether you’ve never sown a seed or just want to refresh old skills, the guide ensures you won’t be lost or overwhelmed.

✅ Bonus e-Guides: Two supplemental digital booklets (available for download) extend the kit’s value. One is “Healing Yourself at Home with Household Items,” which shows how common kitchen ingredients (like vinegar or baking soda) can become natural remedies. The other is “Wild Edibles and Medicinal Herbs You Can Forage,”teaching you to identify and use healing plants you might find in nature. These bonuses broaden your toolkit at no extra cost.

✅ Quality Assurance and Support: All seeds in the kit are organic-quality, handpicked heirlooms (grown in the USA). There are no GMOs or unwanted chemicals. Dr. Apelian stands behind the product with a 365-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free. In addition, customer support is available through Nicole’s website if you have questions about planting or remedies.

Figure: The Medicinal Garden Kit comes as a compact kit (packet shown above) containing the seed packets and remedy guide. In practice, the kit is sold in a resealable pouch (as shown). Each of the 10 seed envelopes is clearly labeled with the herb name. According to the packaging and official descriptions, the kit contains everything you need for a start-up herbal apothecary. The packet itself even lists key features (“Natural Backyard Pharmacy,” “Herbal Medicinal Guide included,” etc.). In short, the Medicinal Garden Kit is a self-contained garden pharmacy kit: premium herb seeds plus instructions, ready to go.

At its core, the Medicinal Garden Kit is designed to empower you through doing. Instead of buying pills or bottled extracts, you grow the plants yourself and make remedies. In practical terms, the kit provides a step-by-step system from “seed to solution”. Here’s how the concept works: first, you use the included planting guide to sow seeds of chosen herbs in the ground or pots. As the plants grow through the season (with your watering and care), you simply follow the guide’s instructions for when and how to harvest them. Finally, you use the guide’s recipes to transform the herbs into useful products — for example, brewing teas from chamomile, infusing oils with calendula, or making a wound-salving balm with yarrow.

This full-circle process sets the kit apart from other products. Many herbal kits or seed assortments on the market just give you random seeds or a brief pamphlet. In contrast, Dr. Apelian’s kit walks you through every step. The included guide is detailed and practical. It explains exactly when to pick each plant part, how to dry and store herbs, and provides formulas for tinctures, ointments, salves, poultices and more. For example, you’ll find recipes for a “Deep Sleep Tincture” using California poppy, or a calming tea blend with lavender and chamomile. The idea is that even someone with zero herbal training can follow along and end up with safe, usable remedies.

In essence, the kit works by simplifying a complex craft into digestible steps. It bridges the gap between gardening and medicine. You don’t need to hunt online for confusing advice or risk unsafe dosages – the research and experience have been done for you. As one review puts it, this kit gives “a self-contained herbal wellness system” so you’re not just buying seeds, but “investing in knowledge, control, and connection to your personal health journey”.

Empowers Self-Sufficiency: By growing your own herbs, you take control of your health in a natural way. Many people feel more confident knowing they can handle minor ailments (like colds, headaches, or stomach upsets) using homegrown remedies. The kit helps you become less dependent on store-bought medicines. As one reviewer noted, it teaches you “new skills and gives you the ability to address common ailments without depending on pharmaceuticals”. This sense of preparedness and autonomy is a major perk for DIYers and survivalists.
High-Quality, Organic-Style Seeds: The seeds in the kit are non-GMO heirlooms handpicked for vitality. You won’t find cheap, hybrid seeds here. Many herbal experts agree that homegrown herbs can be more potent than store-bought supplements. Since these plants come from true heirloom stock (often grown in US gardens), they retain their natural medicinal compounds. Because they’re open-pollinated, you could even save seeds from your plants for future planting. In short, you’re getting premium seed quality, not a random mix.
Comprehensive Herbal Education: A key benefit is the learning experience. The kit’s guide does more than tell you what to do – it teaches why. As you follow its instructions, you’ll learn about the properties of each herb and traditional uses. For example, you’ll discover chamomile’s digestive benefits or echinacea’s immune support. This knowledge is valuable long after the first harvest. The guide’s clarity also makes it accessible; even complete beginners can feel comfortable planting and making tinctures because the instructions are step-by-step.
Long-Term, Cost-Effective Value: Many of the herbs in the kit (like echinacea, yarrow, and mint) are perennials or self-seeding annuals. This means once established, they often re-emerge each spring without replanting. Over time, your “backyard pharmacy” can grow and sustain itself. The promotional materials even highlight this as making the kit a “cost-effective option, providing a lifelong backyard pharmacy that re-grows every year”. In practical terms, if your garden succeeds, you might only purchase the kit once and then enjoy herbs for seasons to come.
Bonus Resources & Peace of Mind: Apart from the main guide, you get extra e-booklets (the household remedies and wild herb guides) which expand your skills at no extra charge. Also, the purchase comes with a 365-day satisfaction guarantee. This means you can try growing your herbs for a whole year, and if it doesn’t work out, you can return it. Such a guarantee can give you confidence to invest in learning herbalism without the risk.

Free Bonus #2: Wild Edible and Medicinal Herbs You Can Forage or Find Around the House

The best plants you can use for making powerful natural remedies are the ones you grow yourself with the Medicinal Garden Kit. The next best thing is taking advantage of the ones Nature has already grown for you, in your own backyard or somewhere close to your home. Until your seeds arrive, and they’ve had a chance to grow, you can use this guide to identify and forage what you need right away. You probably won’t believe just how many powerful natural medicines are hiding in your area.

Pros

✅ Complete System: Unlike random seed assortments, this kit provides everything needed – seeds plus expert instructions – so you don’t have to research on your own. It’s especially good for beginners who want clear guidance.
✅ Educational and Empowering: You learn real skills in herbalism and gardening. This knowledge can last a lifetime and even save money on over-the-counter remedies. Many users report feeling proud and self-reliant as their garden grows.
✅ High-Quality Content: The seeds are heirloom, and the included recipes are based on Nicole Apelian’s decades of herbal practice. This kit was developed by a trusted herbalist, not just a marketer, which adds credibility.
✅ Safe Guarantee: The 365-day money-back promise means you can try it with minimal risk. If for any reason you’re not satisfied, the company will refund your purchase within a year.
✅ Ideal for Self-Reliance and Preppers: If you’re into emergency preparedness or homesteading, this kit aligns with those values. The emphasis on growing your own medicine fits sustainability and long-term thinking.

Cons

❌ Requires Time and Effort: Gardening is not instant – seeds need watering, plants need tending, and cures need preparation. If you’re very busy or impatient, the time investment could be frustrating. It can take months to see results and have usable remedies.
❌ Dependence on Conditions: Success depends on your local climate and soil. Some included plants need specific zones or care. If you live in a very hot, cold, or shaded area, you may struggle to grow all the herbs. (The instructions do encourage learning about USDA hardiness zones and possibly amending soil if needed.) In very limited space or without a sunny spot, you might get smaller yields.
❌ Not a Medical Panacea: It’s important to remember this kit is educational. These herbs have traditional uses, but they are not proven cures for diseases. If you have serious health conditions, you should still consult a healthcare professional. The kit is meant for supplementary wellness – for example, soothing a mild headache or calm an upset stomach – not for treating major illness.
❌ Availability: Currently, the kit is primarily sold through Nicole Apelian’s website (for U.S. residents). If you live outside the U.S., it might be harder or more expensive to obtain. Also, the content says it’s aimed at U.S. gardeners, so some herbs may do better in moderate climates.
❌ Learning Curve: While the guide is detailed, some people might feel overwhelmed by so much new information. Going from seed packets to making your own tinctures requires following many instructions. If you dislike reading manuals or don’t enjoy DIY projects, this kit might be more work than you want.

Getting started with the kit is straightforward. Here’s a simple step-by-step outline:
1. Prepare & Sow the Seeds: Read the planting directions in the guide. Then fill small pots or garden beds with potting mix or garden soil and sow each herb’s seeds as instructed. (Many of these herbs prefer full sun and well-draining soil.) Label the containers or mark rows so you remember which herb is which.

2. Grow & Care: Keep the soil moist and give the plants sunlight. Most kit herbs (like chamomile, calendula, echinacea, etc.) grow like normal garden flowers. Follow any tips in the guide (for example, thinning seedlings or supportive staking). With basic gardening care, you’ll soon see seedlings sprout.

3. Harvest at Peak: Each herb has an optimal harvest time (often when flowers bloom). The guide tells you exactly when to pick each plant part (flowers, leaves, or roots). For instance, chamomile flowers are typically harvested when half-open, while calendula blooms are picked at full blossom. Harvest in the morning after dew dries for best potency.

4. Dry or Use Fresh: The guide explains how to dry herbs if needed (e.g. hanging bunches of flowers in a dark, warm room). Dried herbs can be stored for months. You’ll also find instructions to make tinctures (soak herbs in alcohol) or infuse oils.

5. Make Remedies: Follow the included recipes to turn your harvest into remedies. For example, you might brew a calming chamomile-lavender tea, create a calendula salve for skin, or steep an echinacea decoction for immune support. The guide provides measurements and methods to make tinctures, salves, teas, decoctions, and poultices safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly comes in the Medicinal Garden Kit?

The kit includes 10 packets of herb seeds (chamomile, calendula, yarrow, echinacea, peppermint, valerian, lavender, marshmallow, sage, and thyme) plus a printed “Herbal Medicinal Guide”. You also get two bonus e-books on home remedies and foraging. In total, there are about 2,400+ seeds in the kit. These are all you need to start your garden; no special equipment is required.

Is this kit suitable for beginners with no gardening experience?

Absolutely. The Medicinal Garden Kit is explicitly designed for beginners. The included guide offers clear, step-by-step planting instructions (even if you’ve never gardened before) and even explains how to safely prepare the plants once harvested. Nicole Apelian’s writing is straightforward. Many novice gardeners report success by just following the kit’s directions.

Do these herbs really have medicinal value?

These herbs have centuries of traditional use, so they are known for certain healing properties. For instance, chamomile is well-known as a soothing tea, and echinacea is widely used for immune support. However, keep in mind that the kit’s guide makes a clear disclaimer: these remedies are not FDA-evaluated medicines. They should be seen as supportive, gentle remedies rather than cures. Always use them responsibly and consult a doctor if you have serious medical issues.

How long does it take to start getting herbs or remedies from my garden?

That depends on the plant. Most annual herbs (like chamomile or calendula) can be ready to harvest within 2–3 months of planting. Perennials (like echinacea or yarrow) might take a bit longer to establish but will come back year after year. The kit’s guide will tell you the expected timeline for each herb. Plan to wait at least one full growing season to fully utilize the kit.

Can I grow these plants in a small space or pots?

Yes. The kit is friendly to small-space gardeners. You can use containers or a small raised bed. The seed packets are sized so even a few plants can fit on a balcony or windowsill (especially if you start seedlings indoors). The instructions include tips for using containers or limited garden space. In fact, the company notes the seeds are enough for “a small home garden or indoor apothecary setup”.

How much does the kit cost, and is there a return policy?

The kit is sold as a one-time purchase on Nicole Apelian’s website (medicinalkit.com). The price is around $59 (plus shipping), though occasional discounts or bundle deals may appear. Importantly, there is a 365-day satisfaction guarantee. If you try the kit and aren’t happy with it (for any reason), you can return it within a year for a full refund. This gives you plenty of time to test the seeds and guides.
