40summat Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Perhaps Slimsid could do with some he seems to be afflicted by much 'standing of the yard' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Kiddick Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Have you looked in bookshops & libraries? I bought a huge hardback book a couple of years ago from one of them cheap bookshops in Sheff. It has about 200 pages with colour photo's of the plants & a massive alphabetical referance to all plants & herbs that are consumable, what their uses & effects are & some recipe ideas too. It's called HERBS (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poimaster Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I dont know why but Ive got this sneaking suspicion that J-Blaze's herbal knowledge is limited to one species...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzmobile Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Yup, I'm up for the herbal thread, would prefer to do it online though as got 2 little children and live in Baaaaaaarnsley. We use herbs all the time, never go to docs unless highly serious (like recent meningitis alert), treat ourselves when possible and we take responsibility for the state of our own health. Got quite a few good remedies up me cyber sleeve. You had a great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooo Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks for all the replies. It seems to me there is alot of interest but not alot on offer. I would just like to add that although I am a great fan and regular user of "the only herb worth knowing", I know all i need to know about it. So back to general herbs - Maybe we should organise a group get-together to swap knowledge. I have many books and collect tips and olde remedies and any unusual facts. I have recently moved to Sheffield and would like to meet like-minded people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzmobile Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 A great book to have at hand is The Encyclopaedia of Herbal Medecine by Thomas Bartram (see Amazon.co.uk). Also, I met a lovely herbalist chap on Sunday at the Unstone Grange organic fair and suggested he check out the forum. If he doesn't show up I'll post his details. We need to wtick together as soon, if BigPharma has its way, there ain't gonna be no herbs left to use, if there are they'll be illegal and the only ones we'll be allowed to use will be genetically modified.
