FINALLY! i have been into homeopathic and natural medicine, medicinal herbs, etc. my whole life, but it's so hard to find anyone who shares my views and doesn't think i'm a total nutjob. i'm planning on going to college to become a naturopath, but i want to focus on medicinal herbs, and instead of just giving people homeopathic pills, i want to make like tinctures and decoctions and infusions and everything.
i refuse to use most "modern" medicines, i won't even allow antibiotics in my house. i take asprin maybe 4 times a year. i have an herb book that i reference and create my own teas and whatnot. there's a natural market not far that has a HUGE variety of dried herbs, not just your normal kitchen herbs, but things like Bladderwrack, blue cohosh, vervain, wood betony, etc.
my mom has always used homeopathic remedies, and i grew up using them.
i think it's so great that i finally found a forum with people who believe in the healing power of
plants!
