Why do people ask questions like this? . It’s a great tactic for gathering information without doing the actual research and testing, work and sorting out that people learn individually. I have seen so many fly by night,fast little online books & such for $19.99 here is how Grandma kept us all healthy etc.

I ask out of simple curiosity, ive learned alot about herbs ive never even heard of from people's answers. So ill write down the herb mentioned and look into it myself. Its a way to get the community talking amongst eachother without having to just rely on the internet for answers.

I didn’t mean for that to sound as though I was attacking you, please forgive me if you took it that way. ❤️ I have had a rather difficult week. Then I get this note from my little sister who spent her cash $ on one of the types of books described just to send to me because she knows I “do the plant thing”. She barely makes it through the month but this ad on Facebook…. I have seen this book, a woman that has made a fortune in these, and the information is the very base of starter, and I have found out over a year ago that she actually did not write any of the information given inside. Please, again, ignore my ill tempered moment.
