Healing with Herbs

Excerpt:

Old folks, gypsies, and others who observe and honor connections in life often have a great deal of experience with herbs that promote well-being. If a sniff of lavender can calm stress or a cup of ginger tea can ease nausea, the first step to having the relief comes from having the wisdom. Tapping into the bounty of Nature is what people have done since the beginning of time. Pharmaceutical firms just started about 100 years ago. It used to be that all medicine

came from herbs, flowers, and parts of plants. Now medicine is created from chemicals, and the long list of how they may harm you are frightening and even deadly.
