Hello! Welcome to the Herbology side of FA!
This is a group for all those interested in Herbology! Whether that's herb lore or the medicinal values of herbs!
Any and all information is welcome! Just send us a note with any information you have and we'll make a compilation!
The information that I will be putting up here is from books that I own or websites that I frequent, and once I get more field-experience, from that as well.
Meet and Greet all other herbal enthusiasts!
Books:
~The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants by Andrew Chevallier
~Herbal Remedies also by Chevallier. This is a smaller, more concise version of the Encyclopedia and is good for just field identification.
~The Way of Herbs by Michael Tierra L.Ac., O.M.D. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
~Tom Brown's Guide to Edible and Medicinal Plants by Tom Brown
~Jeanne Rose's Herbal Guide to Inner Health by Jeanne Rose
~Natural Remedies by Melissa Corkhill
~Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cuningham
~Edible & Medicinal Plants of the Rockies by Linda Kershaw. This book has been my BIBLE while I'm out in the field!!! I've learned so much from this book...but yes it is limited to Rocky Mountain plants, but if you have the same plant growing near you or available to you in some way, the info is very valuable! Hell, I have a medicinal plants of Costa Rica book :p
Websites:
~ Learningherbs.com has great information and a wonderful newsletter that's sent out pretty regularly with recipes and fun ideas involving herbs! They also have the board game Wildcraft which is fun to play, even if you're by yourself *forever alone* as well as they have the Herbal Remedy Kit which provides all the basic materials needed to make some essential home herbal remedies! They are in partnership with Mountain Rose Herbs.
~ Mountainroseherbs.com has a great selection of herbs, oils, accessories, etc and have deals all the time. They also have a wonderful cause and support a few charities. All organic.

Hello, again, my little seeds!
10 years ago
Hey! So, I have a little bit of time before I have to skip on over to school.
I need to know what you guys would like to see from this group! I'll take all opinions in the forms of responses to this journal, please. I want to make this group be one of the best out there, especially for being just this busy bee managing it. Here are some of my suggestions:
1. herb of the month
2. Wildcrafting pics
3. Spiritual uses of herbs (for magick practitioners like me)
4. History of herbs
5. uses for each herb.
6. Different herbs and their storage.
Now, I know this is kind of where I was taking it, but I want your opinions on those suggestions, and also any other suggestion you have! I had someone last year have a suggestion for holiday-specific herbs (like aphrodisiac herbs for Valentine's Day ;D) and things of that sort.
If anyone is interested in cooking with herbs, go check out FACCC and talk to yelleena. Yelleena is the admin of FACCC and she has helped me out quite a bit. She also loves hugs, so go hug her!
I'll have a little bit on cooking with herbs, but leaning more towards how using them in food can aid your body in some medicinal way.
I really need suggestions! Also, I have some photos I need to upload of a recent "project" I've been working on. I've been collecting citrus peels and drying them for their vitamin C content! I have some photos of this process and I'll edit them so they're all on one image.
