        Hey Doc, given that the internet is a mine field of bad information, and the fact that you can’t possibly cover all herbs in your terrific monographs, where would you recommend we find a good source for ACCURATE monographs?  The ones you have are really helpful, but when I first got interested in herbs, I got some herbs that now I wonder why I did – and why I tinctured them.  Since I don’t want to waste them (still haven’t found that money tree yet), I need to know how best to use what I have before the herbs go bad (not the tinctures), and what kind of blends I can make with what I have (subbing for things I will replace them with later).  Hope that makes sense!  Thanks much 🙂

          I’m in the same situation too, far too eager to get started

            Richard Whelan does a nice job.

            https://www.rjwhelan.co.nz/herbs_A-Z.html

            Just to let you know, I have 192 Single herb lessons/monographs in various stages of gussying up that will be put up into the Individual Herbs Section pretty soon. :0)

                WOO HOO!  You might have most or even all of my oddball herbs by the time you’re done!  Thanks for the link, I’ll cruise thru his monographs in the meantime to get started on what I can do with what I have.  🙂

                Oh, yay!  That actually answers a question I just asked over in Essential Oils in the peppermint thread.

                  Yay! Can we request particular monographs not already covered?

                      You bet.

                      I’ll see if I can make some sort of voting game to prioritize lessons prep. :0)

                      Good question. I’m in the same boat. ‘hmmm, I bought this herb for some reason but now I have no idea why….’ ! 🙂

                          KingdomKeeper (love that name) – isn’t that the truth – why, oh why did I tincture this?  What did I read on the world wide misinformation confusing web that made me want to do this!!??

                          Yippee! Looking forward to that! I will wait to photo copy that section. A PDF would be fantabulous. I’ve been trying to get a lot photo copied due to the fact we lose internet on many occasion. Thanks Doc! Enjoying this course sooooo much.

                            Yippee! Looking forward to all the new monographs Doc! I will wait to photo copy that section. A PDF would be fantabulous. I’ve been trying to get a lot of lessons photo copied due to the fact we lose internet on many occasion; especially during these winter months. Enjoying this course sooooo much. The Whelan link you’ve provided is quite valuable as well. Thank you so much!
