          What is everyone’s favorite thing they are/have learned in the academy?

              Hi Lynn!  Ever since following Doc Jones this year we have staved off any serious sicknesses!  It has been such an improvement on previous years with lots of sicknesses and feeling helpless to help my family. I hope to soon have a fully stocked herbal medicine cabinet to be able to help with all the little complaints we may have.

              Welcome Lynn! It really has been great learning all sorts of different things here. I would say my favorite thing I learned was that all the herbs and flowers that I was already growing turned out to have some fantastic medicinal benefits!

                Hello Lynn, I am also fairly new but I think one of the cool things I have learned is that there are “weeds” that I pulled that probably should have gone on a shelf to dry instead of in the compost pile -am definitely going to do things differently next year.

                    Oh I’ve learned too much useful, practical stuff to choose a favorite.  I use most of what I’ve learned so far, and mostly for myself and my dog, though I’ve been able to help several friends along the way.  But if I had to choose just one “really cool favorite,” it would have to be the duct tape “sutures” technique.  Fortunately I’ve never needed to use it yet, but that is a super cool thing to know, especially since I camp in the wilderness for a living.

                    I am new to the academy as well. I am looking forward to learning along with all here.

                      Hi Lynn & Diana. Welcome. :0)

                      Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
