Herbs for Cancer: June 8, 2023
This is at 7:30 pm CST. I learned about this webinar through Rosalee. She says she's the real deal, uses supported research and isn't pushing bogus cures & such as many do in this area of health & wellness. Considering we all will be touched either directly or indirectly by cancer, this is an important webinar.

Wool mites and rabbit health
My sweet sunshine has wool mites. Her angora wool went from spectacular to shabby. She is also nervous, but that might also have to do with her biting a rabbit Judge in the thumb (I cried more than the judge, although the ladies were saying this judge had it coming, being overly rough). My poor baby is in pain I think from…

Growing herbs indoors and season long
10 Herbs You Can Grow Indoors in Water All Year Long (gardeningsoul.com) I will have to give this a try.
Butterbur
There are a few types. Petasites japonica & P. hybridus are what I've been reading about. Hybridus is what is in my supplement and I can get seeds here: I've read quite a few other links too, but I neglected to copy their addresses. I have been taking a butterbur (75mg)-feverfew (200mg) capsule sold by "Now" for…
Herbs for anxiety
I do respect the great work this company does. I think they are successful in helping those needing help. However... This page lists 10 herbs that are recommended and backed by scientific studies. Following is a much longer list that is claimed to either have no studies done or insufficient to prove they help (Probably KP…
Herbs for Men's Health
We don't have many posts here regarding men's health specifically. I hope this article will contribute to our knowledge here. I found this site through a reference link from Rosalee de la Forêt when she was writing about an unrelated herbal remedy.
Thyroid & Beneficial Herbals
Through a reference on an unrelated herbal subject presented by Rosalee de la Forêt, I found this two part write up on thyroid, possible causes of thyroid disorders & herbals that are beneficial. Thyroid issues are a confusing subject to research, so I discovered years ago. There is so much incorrect information out there…

75 Exceptional Herbs for the Garden eBook by Jack Staub On Sale
75 Exceptional Herbs for the Garden eBook by Jack Staub is on sale for $2.99 on both Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The hardcover book on Amazon is $65, so I could not pass up the $2.99 eBook. It looks like a good mix of common and less common herbs.
I don't know everything, really, I don't...tell me the solution to your story
I had a mystery issue with my little Serama rooster. I thought maybe he had bugs...after a check, I saw none. Then with ongoing and strange behaviors that affected his head & balance, I thought ear mites. I treated...nope, not that either. I didn't think it was worms because he has always been strictly indoors & isolated…
Colds: Hot & Cold, Herbs & foods for each stage
I found the food suggestions very interesting. I will have to try this.
Foraging recipes
@torey This is roughly from your area of the world. There are so very many tasty sounding & beautiful foraging recipes found here.
Mites & Lice on Birds
I can't find any discussions posted on this subject on the forum. I may have referenced it in the whitewashing a coop and some other places, but nothing seems to be dedicated to this subject...at least nothing lately. I just (like 2 days ago "just") brought bird lice (little whitish, fast, skinny insects that hate light)…
My herbal bed. How does yours look like?
This is my herbal and bee bed. Well, one of my herbal beds. All the plants in this bed are more or less the same height. In this one I have oregano (dominating), echinacea, soap wort, St. John’s wort, peppermint, Jerusalem artichokes, primrose, wild teasel, yarrow… it would be nice to see your herbal beds. This is a high…
Have you ever watched a primrose flower unfold.
We are in a heat period, thus I prefer earlier morning and late evening hours in the garden. Yesterday, while I was drinking my evening herbal tea, the primrose flowers started unfolding. First one petal and then the whole flower. And one after another. Fascinating. Not speaking of the pleasant scent. I collect some of…
Have lots of parsley?
If, like me, your garden is going crazy right now and you have like 2 lbs a day of parsley a day, try this: Sweat down some onion and garlic, push to the side of the pan, add equal parts butter or olive oil and all purpose flour (like a tablespoon or two each) and just cook it until the flour smells cooked. Stir in milk…
Trying to Find French Tarragon
I have been trying to find plants or seeds for French Tarragon and all I can find is Russian or Mexican Tarragon. Has anyone else have this problem or if you have found it and where? Thanks, Yes, this is a similar post I did in question form, but it looked negative as "Rejected" when Torey made a post (sorry @torey) so I…
Has Anyone Having Issues finding French Tarragon?
I have looked for plants and seeds and all I can find is Russian or Mexican Tarragon, I cannot find French Tarragon anywhere. Has anyone else have this problem or if you have found it, where? Thanks,

I would like this thread to be available to our Certified Natural Health Practioner members only, so that we have a solid list of websites to easily reference as we build our knowledge. There are so many websites that claim to be safe & trustworthy, yet may not be. It is easy to be fooled and so, we need to be very…
Edible landscaping: Hiding edible plantings in a HOA situation
@torey brought this subject up while talking about sage being very practical in a well manicured flower bed. I would like to discuss this subject for our urban readers' benefit. Can we make a list of edible trees, herbs, fruits & veggies that would be suitable and could blend into a difficult situation like an HOA? Each of…
Planning an herb garden
I have grown a few herbs here and there in the past, but with a limited amount of fertile, sunny space, I've always focused on core vegetables. Recently, however, I am seeing many empty shelves in the grocery store spice and herb racks, week after week. Some other shelves are empty one week and refill the next week, but…
slender nettle
Slender nettle is a lot like Stinging nettle but without the big nettle bite. I love this plant and found it quite by accident over in my raspberry patch. I had to ID the plant, came close with a wildflower ID book but took it up to my local audubon the get the final ID. I had learned about stinging nettle from a herbalist…
Cooling Summer Beverages (Family Friendly)
We are getting a taste of hot summer temperatures throughout this week. This got me to thinking about what are your favorite family friendly herbal cooling drinks. Right now, we are making some hibiscus tea combined with our electrolyte recipe. If we had organic lemons at the ready, we would be using those too. What have…
