I have always be interested in herbs and complementary medicine. You can study online for free. Anyway, I just ordered some Chickweed salve from ETSY. It's good for skin irritations and or minor rashes.

That is a good idea. I need to find something different to do myself.

@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 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.

My best friend who is a nurse, is really into that kind of stuff. She turns to herbs before medication.

Why not? Herbs are less expensive and less harsh
