Imteresting!

[Guest guest]

Dear Pearl,

 

Thanks so much for posting this. I am always tremendously interested in the historical background of healing herbs and what better source than the Bible for going back into antiquity. I've always said that healing came about from not only the physical, but also from the Mental and the Spiritual as well.

 

This is a great post.

 

Much love,

 

Ian
