She's more trustworthy than the average pharmakeia doctor these days. I told my bff I was now my own doctor due to my lack of trust for the actual doctors. She said, "You need to sue yourself for malpractice".

eh, know someone who considers herself a "kitchen witch" aka: uses local herbs and such for basic care that she preps in her kitchen each year.

You'd be surprised.

We used to have an herbal expert at work who would help with actual poultices and teas and tinctures. Nice thing about real natural stuff is that it's a lot harder to overdose than synthetic toxic stuff. But I'm sure your trusted doctor already told you all that.
