I'm also disturbed by the irresponsible way that

herbs, homeopathy, etc., are marketed by some

companies (not to say that I want the gov't involved,

that would only make things worse, IMO). Most health

store clerks are clueless and the packages have very

little info. I would strongly suggest to anyone that

if they want to take herbs either consult a trained

herbalist or spend the time to educate yourself to at

least a basic level. Just because they're natural

plants doesn't mean they can't be used incorrectly and

have negative effects. We have used herbs very

successfully for many things - to aid recovery from

acute illness, assist pregnancy and birth, boost

immune function, emotional/neurological issues, etc. -

but we have both educated ourselves by way of books,

and have sought out experts. We know a very good

herbalist who will do distance consultations - in

person is best but not always feasible if one is not

in the same community - her website is

http://www.niacu.com .

There IS a difference in herbs from different sources.

Something that's been sitting ground up inside a

gelcap in a plastic bottle on the store shelf for 6

months is not going to have the same energy as a

lovingly grown and harvested, properly processed and

stored plant administered in an appropriate manner.

Okay, end of OT lecture.

Weed's Herbal for the Childbearing Year is simply and beautifully

written from the " Wise Woman " herbal tradition - full of easy, useful

recipes for making your own teas/tinctures/infusions, which is a

wonderful meditation in itself during this year (the two months before

conception, +-9 months of pregnancy, and the first 2 months postpartum.)

I've also used Miranda Castro's Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth, and

Baby's First Year - good intro to Homeopathy. -Gretchen

This is what we teach in our educational classes. I work with Horne,

president of The American Herbalist Guild.

I am so happy that I subscribed to this group. I do NOT believe in

immunization in any form and did my dissertation on it. I have a science

(physics) background and have plenty of scientific stuff to back it up when

people ask.

It is great you are getting the awareness up!

Thanks for making a difference!
