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 always forget there's is a broader .win community!! I would've even know how too start something like that- maybe we see if there is enough interest??
The more I learn about herbals the more interesting it is. I suspect you've found that with your mushroom investigations. I just want too soak it all up and be an encyclopedia of everything :)
Side note/tangentially related- did you see the TEDtalk about mushrooms? There are two that I recall (probably more now). This was a guy (the other was a female) and at the outset I was prepared to be disappointed I was just watching a bunch and this did not sound appealing. To date, it is one of the most fascinating I've seen.
Fasting is huge!! I’m not sure it is good for me though... I was doing great on keto and longer fasts ... but now I can’t get it back under control. I’m gaining back and intermittent fast regularly.
Yes. I’m beyond frustrated. I think I’m going to eliminate dairy and see how that works

I’d love to hear what you think :)
I used to listen to NPR until the amount of beliefs stated as fact was more than fact. Ugggg.... I think about how long it took me to discover that, and I wasn’t even really awake then!
Most of what “science” says is still theory but Heaven forbid that questions are asked. Taking the appropriate parts of anything has turned into a skill. One that I wish I didn’t need to hone- and also one that is saving our lives. Literally.
I know you know this stuff.... maybe I’m just wanting to “say” it out loud 🤣
