Medicinal plants are essential in a garden and have many advantages for both us and our vegetables. In addition, they are very easy to grow and very resistant to both diseases and pests.

Cress (Lepidium latifolium) is not as well-known a medicinal plant as the ones I have mentioned above. It belongs to the cruciferous family and one of its relatives, Wasabi, sounds familiar to you. It is a plant with diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. But above all, it is known for its ability to dissolve kidney stones. That is why it is also known as "stone breaker" in some areas.
In the garden it is a very rustic plant that you can place in a poor and rocky area as it will adapt very well. It multiplies by rhizomes but it is not a very invasive plant. You can also grow it in pots as it adapts well. It does not require much watering and prefers to be in full sun. And it does not usually have many enemies except the worms of some butterflies in their season but they will greatly alter the plant. It is better to let the animal complete its cycle.
