HERBS AND NATURAL REMEDIES
While researching herbal sites, I found most to have New Age leanings and to contain things that I did not want to condone by linking to them. Therefore, this page will probably grow very slowly as I find individual articles or write short pieces about remedies I have tried and found useful.
HerbMed® - an interactive, electronic herbal database – provides hyperlinked access to the scientific data underlying the use of herbs for health. It is an evidence-based information resource for professionals, researchers, and general public.)
Yes, this site may have some of that New Agey stuff on it. I thought the old herbal would be interesting to read through, but you'll want to skip a lot of what's available on the site. Caution: For Medicinal Use - Bear in mind it was written with the conventional wisdom of the early 1900's. This should be taken into account as some of the information may now be considered inaccurate, or not in accordance with modern medicine. (But it looks like fun reading for those with an interest in herbal medicine! Lisa's note) Click here to go to Botanical.com.
