Isn't is strange/amazing that some things that are very toxic, can also be healing (or at least, palliative) in certain circumstances?
I wish I knew more about what plants are good for what. I bought a couple of books that I thought might be educational, but there is no substitute for seeing the plants and having a mentor/tutor to teach one about them.
My dh was given a "health food store" product my dsil used for losing weight.
Didn't do anything but make him tired, so he gave it to his mother.
I was always concerned about them taking stuff so willy-nilly.
I was once advised to try a health food store product by a DOCTOR, and ended up in the ER the second pill!
No more "au naturale" for me!
By the way...the weight loss product has since been taken off the market. It had Ma Huang in it and killed ppl
