Blogs and Herb News
The “Our Blog” section is designed to offer articles that highlight a particular herb or plant and put them in the spotlight for a week or two. During that time, all are invited to share their stories and beliefs regarding the healing or medicinal properties of that plant, root, herb or berry. We will try to feature a new adaptogen every week or two and to keep the discussions useful. We encourage you to leave comments with meaningful information that will help others understand the potential for a cure of an ailment or malady. Please no comments just for the sake of dropping your link. If you don’t have something to contribute that is on topic, I won’t post the comment. Thanks and enjoy!
