Fenugreek
Price range: $1.10 through $10.75
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an herb similar to clover. The seeds taste similar to maple syrup and are used in foods and medicine.
Fenugreek is native to the Mediterranean, Europe, and Asia. Fenugreek seems to slow sugar absorption in the stomach and stimulate insulin . Both of these effects lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. Fenugreek might also improve levels of testosterone and estrogen , helping to improve interest in sex.
People commonly use fenugreek for diabetes, menstrual cramps , sexual problems, enlarged prostrate , high cholesterol, obesity , and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.

Lemon Balm
The leaves are used as a herb, in teas and also as a flavouring. The plant is used to attract bees for honey production. It is grown as an ornamental plant and for its oil (to use in perfumery). Lemon balm has been cultivated at least since the 16th century.
Lemon balm seeds require light and a minimum temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) to germinate. The plant grows in clumps and spreads vegetatively (a new plant can grow from a fragment of the parent plant), as well as by seed. In mild temperate zones, the plant stems die off at the start of the winter, but shoot up again in spring. Lemon balm grows vigorously.
