As a practicing medicinal herbalist, not for
profit, mind you, but for friends and family, I'd like to suggest that you
include the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine page in your links. Michael
Moore has *wonderful* information on our native medicinal plants, how to use
them and how NOT to use them here, as well as all the scientific data on the
chemistry and pharmacology that a serious student of herbal medicine will need.
I strongly believe that ONLY those who have taken
the time and trouble to become informed about herbal medicine should ever use
herbs medicinally, and that herbal medicine is NOT the safe and benign field
that all too many people believe it to be. But for those of us who do take the
time to learn herbs can sure save a lot of money, time and suffering.
More than once the herbs we collect and process
have cured problems that the doctors simply couldn't seem to deal with. (A
friend's giardia infection comes to mind as a classic example here: she
underwent several repeated bouts of severe G.I. distress which the HMO doc
couldn't seem to cure before a common desert plant tincture stopped the problem
- literally overnight).
If you are interested in checking this site out
go to

and look for yourself. I also highly recommend Moore's books on the medicinal
plants of the desert and canyon west, the mountain west and the pacific
northwest. I own all three and find myself using them almost constantly. I am
currently in the process of writing a book and producing a CD on the medicinal
plants of Texas myself.
