        Is there an actual printable LIST of the herbs needed for the medicine making lessons? I want to be sure I am drying or gathering herbs BEFORE starting those lessons. I looked through the slides and searched the forum but nothing turned up.

          I’ll get one from the production folks and get it posted here.  :0)

            I am unable to grow many of my herbs because my yard has too much shade.  Is there a recommended supplier for fresh/organic products?

              MountainRoseHerbs.com is supposed to be very good. I’ve also heard that there is an excellent herbalist who sells herbs…Doc Jone is his name, I believe. Before I found Doc Jones, I bought some from Starwest and from Frontier Coop.

                  Strictly medicinal seeds in USA and Richters herbs if in Canada.

                    Well I’m a terrible slowpoke. Apologies. I must have seen a squirrel or something.

                    Bear in mind it doesn’t matter much at all what herbs you use to do this things. It’s about the processes, not the end products.

                    Here’s what’s in that kit:

                      That’s a great list. On Lesson 6, how many ounces of material is the round metal tin going to hold? or is there a particular size needed? Thanks for posting. Blessings
