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.
I have been thinking about how to organize such a database in my head... it helps me to write it down rather than just have read it in a book. I think especially on my property (essentially a boulder field) I can grow minimal.
Good tip about looking for books from other places that have a long standing openness to this sort of healing.
Spreadsheets are easier to get started on than a database and easier to grasp with a quick look. Look for one that can be exported to a database. I like to start with PubMed and explore their links and references.
But just a quick add. I adore spreadsheets like nothing else. I’ll have to reconsider them for this application !
OneNote is my preferred and I was thinking about checking Evernote to see if similar. I don’t want to get into a real database!!!
ugh, I used to struggle with Access and I say, there is nothing I needed to do with it that I couldn't do with Excel.
Do they still deploy Access? Blech!!
