Henriette's guestbook

Welcome!

New guestbook entries aren't shown right away - I screen things for spam, questions (a guestbook is NO place for questions!), and things.

Henrietta Lala (Traiteusse)

It's been years since I last contacted you. Remember the old Herbal News Group? I see a few of my postings are still included in your holdings. It's great to see you have kept going strong and are still providing such a wonderful service as interest in herbal medicines has exploded, thanks to the Internet. Don't you just love all the videos on YouTube that tell and show us everything we want to know? It's all so easy now, compared to the days and days I used to spend in university libraries, etc., doing research. I'll be 74 Nov. 8th, and am still researching and helping the local State Park here in St. Martinville, Louisiana with their herbal garden, giving demonstrations, etc. My specialty is herbal/healing methods in rural Acadiana (think Cajun country), before 1850. I even went back to school and became a nurse, graduating when I was 60, just to get a better handle on how herbs affect the entire body. Thanks for helping us all get a leg up on this subject. Affectionately yours, Granny Lala (Traiteusse).

Traiteusse! How cool! Long time no speak!
Yes, AFH is gone, but there are a lot of blogs instead. And youtube, and fb, and and and ...
Kids these days don't know what things were like back in our days :-)

Much love and hugs :-)

Dear Henriette thank you so much for your site, your blog, your super book and all the inspiration you give - wisdom, knowledge experience, humour, good earthy sense... All blessings, Jacquie, a community herbalist in Ireland.

:-) Many thanks for that, Jacquie!

Thank you so much for putting this site up! It contains a host of useful information on healthy, natural, and even less expensive remedies which I've found very helpful. I see you have many of the "tried and true" listed here

Wow! Love the info on your site. I'm a student of naturopathy in Australia and you've covered some very hard to find herbs I needed to study, like Hellebore. I'm itching to get into the Felter MM too, I love looking at the history of natural medicine!

Thanks for such a great resource,
Amy

Really cool site! Had to sign your book, given we have similar names! Everyone always made fun of my name as a child, but now as an adult I embrace the family name my mom gave me because I was named after my great grandmother and mother! Thanks for a great site!

Dear Henriette,

I love love love your site! The lay-out is so user-friendly and I really appreciate the way you crafted your "Fine Print" re Photo Use.

I hope you don't mind, I tweeted a link to your Euphorbia milii picture on my Twitter page:
"Where can I buy Euphorbia Milii (Koronang Tinik) in Manila? :-) Photo copyright Henriette Kress, http://www.henriettesherbal.com pic.twitter.com/N3101gPK"

I am also posting links to your site on my Facebook page as a reference of this herb that I want to buy locally. :-) Of course, I want to share with them the beauty of herbs in your image galleries. Planning to plant Euphorbia milii in our farm as a nice hedge against petty thieves who have been preying on our vegetables and coconut seedlings.

Thank you so much and more power to you!

Cool!

Hyvaa Paivaa Henrietta: I live in Virginia, am 82 years old, have my Finnish Sauna out in the woods near the house above a river.........I have picked herbs since age 5, and raise them here for 45 years. I would love to have access to your Home Page. How to go about it?

Wee-eell. You're actually on my page.

Luanne Siliämaa

Hello Henriette! I really enjoyed your lecture in Järvenpää this evening! I don't know much about these things, but when my friend asked me to come along, I was curious enough to agree. After hearing your lecture, I am eager to learn more, so I googled your name. Very happy to see that your book is available in English (my mother tongue), and I will be ordering it! Thanks again! Luanne Siliämaa

:-) Glad you liked the talk! You can order the book to your closest book store (in Finland and Sweden) or buy it from amazon.co.uk (the English one), or buy it here :-)

Debbie McKinnon

Hi.

I have come across your page through another link. I am interested in trying some of your herbs. Can I only purchase them through you or can I go to my local herbal store?

Thank you

It'll have to be your local store: I don't sell herbs.

Danny Siegenthaler

Hi Henriette, thank you for sharing your wealth of information. I have only practiced diagnosis and treatment with herbs on myself for years. Now family and friends ask me for advice all the time. I love having a resource such as yours.

:-) glad to be of help!

Raymond G. Cline

I like your website and I like your style. I'm visiting because I have a friend who grows and sells herbs at small local markets. I wanted to see images of the herbs to, perhaps, make some labels for her plants. Loads of information here. I will have to turn her on to this!!!

I have been researching my ancestors had found that four of them passed away at the Eclectic Medical College in Cincinnati. I was only armed with an address on their death records and was directed to the article about the college on your site. I know this may sound morbid to some, but I greatly appreciate the fact that you were able to assist in filling a few blanks for me. Very informative. Thank you.
