Just starting to read thro' your articles, so unable to comment , but looks impressive! I've only recently become interested in herbalism so I find it difficult to know where to start, so I'll just skip about the pages.

I've tried using the search engines to find a page likethis and it took me an hour to find it. Thanks for being here.
Thank you Henriette. This is a very informative site. Just started reading it but hope to find some herbs that uniquely are used by the Suomalaiset - what helps one Finn - will help all Finns.

What wonderful pictures -- I have finally found out what some of the plants are in my backyard. I am going to be spending a lot of hours wandering around this site.
Your site is a great resource. I have taken the liberty of placing a link to it on my own web site on the main Herbal page.
Thanks
I am not a professional, but I like your great pages and I am grateful for your great work. Your pages are an important reference for all nature lovers like myself. Thank you
So happy to have found this.......was just what I needed. Want to grow, dry and use herbs for cooking as well as medicinal uses. Don't know much about it and this looks like a great place to start learning! Thanks so much for the site.
I am so excited that I found your web page, I am very interested in growing my own herbs for cooking and medicinal. I am highly sensitive to most medications and have been successful with herbs, I was wondering if you could help me in where do I start. Thank you for your help.
In the early 1800's Dr. Silas Scruggs Stacey, my great, great-grandfather was born to a woman who was at least half Cherokee in blood named Rebecca Griffith.
In his later life he became a doctor of renown in Springfield Missouri and its environs, especially for his ways with herbs.
In an interview with Silas P. Turnbo, a wandering writer of the day who chronicled all sorts of details of local lives, Dr. Stacey referred to the Eclectic School of Medicine proffered by one Joseph M. Scudder,M.D..
At the time, around 1853, he regarded it as the coming wonder of the day. In a book entitled Let Us Build a City, by Donald Herington, the author tells that our Dr. Silas at one time had over 200 acres in plants and herbs which he used in his patented Tonic entitled Dr. S. S. Staceys Sulphur Mountain Bitters--the ingredients of which were known only to him.
You can imagine how overjoyed I was to find that you had taken the time and the interest to post the essence of Dr. Scudder's note
Dear Henriette
Your site is a great favorite with my students! I'm a belgian naturopath and I teach philosophy and folk remedies to Herbalists, Health counsellors and Naturopaths to be. As they all have to produce a paper as part of their graduation process, I frequently refer them to your page - in fact I put up a link to it, from mine!
I think it's a prime source of herbal information. May it continue to grow and flourish!
Keep well!

I was so blessed to find your site. I am interested in a career researching and growing medicinal plants, and the information contained herein is valuable to me in many ways. I have yet to speak to someone currenty working in the field, and would appreciate any guidance you can give. I will finish my Associates in Science in May and then I plan to transfer to Michigan State University for my bachelors in Botany and Plant Pathology. I hope I am doing the right thing, and I also hope to meet people who are interested in the same. Thank you for a great site.
