Welcome Rach

 

Here are two good places to start when looking at herbals online ...

Both are classic herb books ...

 

Mrs Grieves Modern Herbal

http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/mgmh.html

 

Culpepper's Herbal

http://www.bibliomania.com/2/1/66/113/frameset.html

 

Also, I HIGHLY recommend you get a few print books including " The

Holisitic Herbal " by David Hoffman

Hey Rachel...

check out Henriettes pages at

http://www.ibiblio.org/herbmed/

there are a few classic herb texts there as well- as well as Henriettes info

 

I also recommend Michael Moores site

http://chili.rt66.com/hrbmoore/HOMEPAGE/HomePage.html

and any of his books-

Medicinal plants of the pacific northwest;

'' '' of the desert and canyon west

'' '' of the mountain west

 

and Michael Tierras

www.planetherbs.com

 

another book I highly recommend is " common herbs for natural health " by

Juliette de bairacli levy

 

Have fun!
