As many of you are also doing, I'm seeking out resources on medicinal herbals. I thought it might be good to have a thread of reputable references as we learn. I have some books, but also looking for online resources and/or online classes.
I'm in Colorado, so many of the books I've bought are about medicinal herbs for my area and elevation. This includes foraging... Because if it can grow wild, probably I can get it to grow on my property (?). I can share what these are, but since I haven't worked through them yet I can't vouche for how good they are (or are not).
There are also great books and videos for general "how to" that could be great starting points for those of use just learning.
Mods, feel free to remove if not enough on Q topic.
The lost book of herbal remedies.. Best book ever !
Oh, thank you! I have heard of that.... I think YouTube advertisements for Dr Nicole Apelian....?
Yes ! I use this book on a daily basis. I am allergic to pharma poisons. So I have to use natural. I can honestly say. Plants work. God put them here for a reason.
I absolutely agree...God gave us what we need. We've forgotten so much. And now there is time needed to reinvest and gain that knowledge back. Lately, I feel like this is a scramble, which is why I'm often gathering resources to assimilate later.
Today I took pictures of plants on my property so that I can verify what they are and take notes about what I have handy.
