I'm so thrilled to find an herbal website-I've done Identifying herbs and wild edibles in the field for years but had to retire myself to just a little home gardening since I'm now over 80 years young. Thank you for being there.
in america there is great resistance to herbal remedies. there are snake oil salesmen, pharmecuedical company mis information and lobbying to ban any popular herb that works. ie St. John's wort, ephedra, comphrey?... I want to know what really works and what doesn't ie yohimbe works ginseng doesn't even tho it has a long reputation among chinese & others.
Your site is the most gratifying and entertaining that I have found on the internet. I found it while searching for info on growing Rosemary from seeds. I know there's a secret, and I'm going to find out what it is.
But the pictures!! I made some miraculous photos of the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, North Carolina, USA, in the fall of 1979 using a Pentax K1000. There was no light as the sun was very low and the garden is covered with a nearly full tree canopy, but I wanted pictures so badly of the lovely place that I tried standing very still until streaks of sunlight would filter through and raise my light meter. The pictures came out! And how beautiful they were. I recently bought my own Pentax K1000 and hope soon to have a zoom lens. I want to "arrange" pictures of my favorite colors and shapes of plants, blow them up and decorate my custom painted (by moi) walls in my home. It's a dream, I'm halfway there. I just moved into my house and there is nice landscaping for aesthetic purposes, so I can concentrate on my FLOWERS! I'm getting ahead of myself, but the plans are in the making for a whole backyard FULL of all the flowers, herbs, ponds, flowering bushes and evergreens, and vines and delicious vegetables.
I am very happy for you to be able to live your dreams as I plan to as well. Syanara (sp)!
I enjoyed browse thru articles on your site. thanks you
Your website is educating.
thanks you. I am UPM agribusiness student. the herb is very useful for our world. I am learning.
i'm so intersted in the herbs subject that i will start bussiness in the herbs
Good luck!
Lots to learn here! I am studying aromatherapy right now, but want to continue my education by studying herbs next. Your herb list is wonderful, although most of the information is over my head for now.
You have done a great job Henriette, in getting all those out-of-print books on the net. This kind of evidence of use is going to be absolutely crucial when it comes to providing evidence of traditional use in the future.
These photos are wonderful! I enjoy this entire site, it is easy to navigate and very informative.
Thanks.

Hei!
Tapasimme elokuussa Annalan juhlissa, et varmaankaan muista kun juttelit Kuopion alaosaston punatukkaisen puheenjohtajan kanssa?
Terveiset siis täältä Kuopiosta, lunta riittää ja lisää tupruttaa! Onneksi on siemenluetteloja tupsahtanut postista niin niitä on kiva tutkailla. Sivujasi en vielä kerennyt kuin vilkuilla mutta hyvältä näytti !
Hittade dina sidor händelsevis när jag sökte efter bilder av Cornus suecica - underbart, du har nog roligt!
Tack, god fortsättning!

You know - you're so far off the mark that I don't know what else to say except: do some reading. Start with the herbfaqs.
