@snowy22315 It sure would be interesting. I had thought about working with essential oils once. But I changed my mind when I started reading on it. It isn't that hard but I decided it wasn't for me.

Actually they are and generally less harsh on the body than conventional meds. That doesn't mean however, you should throw Western Medicine to the side. I think the best of both worlds is good. You have to be careful herbs don't interact with your regular meds if you take any.

@snowy22315 Totally agree about them being less harsh and also about not relying on them entirely.

I have a big book which explains various herbs and their uses for various conditions I haven't used it for awhile, but I like it

@snowy22315 - My grandmother was very good with herbs. I remember she had a remedy for minor burns. If I only had asked her to write down her recipes.

@snowy22315 True, they say broccoli is the number one veggie to eat. I wonder how hard it is to grow

I like herbal medicines. Herbs are natural, hence more effective. However I never take them, because I don't have any physical or mental problems.

I am curious how much you ended up paying for what size container. Just to compare some things I have seen here. If you get a chance to get some Calendula, plantain and lavender salve that beats almost anything else. I really like it.

10 bucks plus shipping Calendula was mentioned as being effective too

Why not? Herbs are less expensive and less harsh

It’s something I’m very interested in too. I didn’t know you can study it online ….is there a course ?
We used to have loads of chickweed growing where we used to live. I used to pick it for my tortoise to eat. He loved it. I think the budgie had it too.
