The lives of people and plants are more entwined than we often realized. Some herbs have such power to change our physiological functioning that they have revolutionized medicine, created fortunes for those who grow, process, and trade them. Wars have been fought over opium, and conflict continues over both it and coca.
All herbals are build on earlier knowledge, while reflecting the practices and interest of time. This blog is no different or exception. Its aim is to draw strands of knowledge together, to providing a reference source for the millenium that in turn will accommodate new information and perspectives. I hope that this blog may stimulate the curiosity and imagination of those who read this.
