The aim of Herbal Folklore is to provide a practical resource for healing oneself. These pages reflect a lifetime interest in herbal medicine and natural living.  Here you will not find every conceivable herb or remedy, but you will find herbs I have experience in using.  Interspersed are commercial products, which I also have found to be useful.

In general, natural remedies are cheaper and properly engineered for living beings.  The general philosophy here is to give precedence to natural diet and healing, but not at the expense of deriding processed formulations.  Some processed formulations are superior to natural remedies due to the proper application of science.
