P.S. NOTE UPDATE

Note*: I will not be posting on Every Herb out there. I will mostly be concentrating on the herbs that I personally use and own. Although I would like to keep posting in alphabetical order, I realize that that would be rather impossible to continuously do. Once I get a good listing of herbs posted I will be going back, revising and adding to what I have posted, such as the 'medical uses' of the herbals. * Thank you for viewing and any herbs that you would like to know about please just send a message and request it. I'm sure there are plenty of useful herbs that I don't regularly encounter, so please request information if you have any herbs in mind that I don't cover on my own.
