Wow! You’re like a walking herb book. Thanks for the info, and please keep ‘em coming as you have time.
I’ve been learning about EOs for the last couple of years, and am now learning about herbs and plants.
It’s amazing what God has given us for our health.
I’ve seen amazing things happen with herbs/diet etc. Even if a person is just starting to learn, bsically just learn what works for yourself, each person has different health conditions, issues, weakness, etc. So if I learn what works for me, and learn and more, pretty soon you learn a lot and can help others with similar conditions or issues.
And pretty much all herbs have more than just one use! So a small collection of herbs can treat, help or cure many different conditions.
I buy herbs mostly as I use primarily Ayurvedic herbs, many of which do not grow in my climate or no seeds/starts availalbe, plus I use such large quantities in making herb formulas I’d have to be a full time herb farmer! Plus I use powdered herbs which is a whole nother skillset...
Since herbs often work supported by other herbs - blends or formulas - powdered herbs work very well. Making teas it is more difficult to blend herbs, plus a lot of them taste REALLY awful so to drink a big steaming hot mug of strong horrible tasting brew several times a day does not help with patient compliance!
HERBAL HELP FOR SLEEPING WELL...believe me, I have tried all of the OTC meds and refused to go down the road of rx drugs. I have found great help for sleeping well by using passion flower. The herbalist said it helps turn off “crazy brain”, which is what I have...I lie down and think and think and think. My husband says, “just don’t think!” But nobody’s ever helped me be able to “not think”. But praise God for a caplet with 500 mg of this wonderful plant. I take it about 30 minutes before bed, along with 500 mg of magnesium and I sleep so well now! I praise The Great Physician.
