Herblore & Natural Remedies

Nature is a great healer, as mankind and animals throughout the ages have known. Herbs and natural oils have been used for thousands of years for medicinal, cosmetic, and culinary purposes - as the following [ever growing] list of herbs wil illustrate. From Lavender pillows to Nettle tea; from headaches to eczema : if there's a problem there's usually a natural solution... and of course, there are also the plants to avoid - we have tried to include all safety issues that are known concerning particular herbs, doses and patient conditions (pregnancy, epilepsy etc..) but our information can not be taken as absolute. These remedies are not intended to replace professional health advice.
