Herbs and
Flowers

As you become aware of mother earth and all
that she is, and does for us, each and every day,
you will begin to understand and wonder
at the gifts she gives us.  Namely, herbs and flowers.

Below is just a small example of herbs that you
can either buy or cultivate yourself.

Remember, any medicinal herb you take, may
be in conflict with any prescription type medication
you receive from your doctor. You must let your
doctor know what you are taking herb-wise, (if other than just using as spices in cooking.

If you are considering taking any kind of herbal medication
and are taking any kind of drugs either over the counter or with a prescription, you must discuss this with your physician first.
In case of any severe and sometimes deadly
combinations. This is in reference to medicinal herbs.
So I take no responsibility
in naming these herbs. It is your job as a
responsible and smart adult to find out what
might be in conflict with whatever prescribed
medication, you may also be taking.

There are wonderful books out there on the
subject of herbs. Buy a few. Cross reference and
always know what you are taking and what the
side effects might be. And always let your physician
know what you are taking or plan to be taking.

The following are just some of the most common herbs. Most of which, can be grown in your own garden.
Further research and study on your part,
will teach you so much more.
