The Herbal Encyclopedia

Welcome to The Herbal Encyclopedia!

I hope that this site can answer some of your herbal healing questions, and

other questions you may have regarding medicinal herbs and their many uses.

This site is not meant to be a substitute for seeking the advice of a

qualified physician or health professional, and the information given within is

not meant to replace prescription medicines without the proper guidance. This

information is given for educational purposes only. I make no claims as to the

ability of herbs to cure you of every ailment known to man. That said, I will

state here that I use these herbs, and have had no ill affects from their

proper use - note I said proper use - but that is just me

speaking for me. I have been trained in the use of herbs: I am a

nationally certified Naturopathic Doctor (ND). You should be trained at some

level, too, or be following the advice of a qualified, certified professional

caregiver. PLEASE seek guidance if you do not know how to use these herbs

properly!! I will not be held responsible for the improper ingestion or other

improper uses of herbs. This information is posted here for educational purposes,

and is not intended to diagnose nor prescribe. Information within this site

is Void where prohibited by law (and shame on you backward states that

force me to add such a statement!).

If there is no

one who can teach you the use of herbs, I suggest you check the

" References " page I have (see Index page for link) and choose a book

or two and start studying! Or visit your local health food store, and ask for

someone who can guide you to someone in your area who can teach you or work

with you on a professional level. There are a lot of good herbal correspondence

courses out there as well. You can find several good ones with your favorite

search engine.

PLEASE

NOTE:The pages within this

site contain copyrighted material. Please do not " borrow " ANY of the

information on any of these pages without my written permission!! To do

otherwise is copyright infringement, and legal action may be sought to protect

my rights as an author. Much of this information is included in a copyrighted

book of mine, so the copyright is not just limited to this site. Sorry to have

to be so blunt, but after finding all the various copies on the Net that

claimed to be from somewhere other than here, and the bootleg print versions,

and considering that I make my part of my living with herbs and the articles

and books I write about them, I have to state this to protect myself. I also

state this to protect all the various professionals that have used me and my

herbal materials as a reference in their own printed, copyrighted materials.

This is the ORIGINAL

Herbal Encyclopedia, folks! Yes, you have probably seen my work plastered all

over the Net, on many Herbal, Pagan, and other sites, only you didn't know it

was mine, because those that " borrow " from here nearly always forget

to let you all know where they found this material in the first place. Well,

this is where all those little copies came from to start with. This site has

been in existence for over 10 years now. I have the training to back up my

herbal information, along with 18+ years of practical and clinical experience.

Please also

note that I DO NOT sell medicinal herbs or herbal combinations to the

general public, I only sell to patients who visit The Natural Wellness Center,

my clinic. I do not promote or advocate in any way any particular company's

herbal products. I do not recommend dosages on these pages, as dosages

and combinations are dependent upon what is being treated, your body weight,

and your age, amongst other important factors such as medical history. One

dose does not fit all!!

I do not have

pictures here for several reasons. First, I wanted this to be a quick reference,

meaning short download times and covering the most common herbs. Second, if you

do not know what you are doing with wild plants, it is best that you buy your

herbs commercially from a reputable source, rather than poison yourself

or someone else with a plant that looks similar to a healing herb.

The herbs

listed in this Encyclopedia have a myriad of uses the world over. This listing

is by no means a complete one, but it can help you with quick references when

needed. Here I will list just a few of themost common herbs and the uses of

each. Obviously, most of these herbs have a much longer list of uses, and there

are thousands of healing herbs around the world, but this is meant to be FAST!

and I have yet to find a specific source in my own studies that covered every

herb known to man. That would have to be a very large reference book! My book

and others can give you more complete information on each herb listed here.

This Encyclopedia does not contain an extensive listing of Chinese or Ayurvedic

herbs; while I often work with these in my clinic, there are other web sites

with extensive information regarding these items and I see no reason to

duplicate those efforts.
