Proper Herbal Self-Medication

Author
Naomi E. Jackson

Village herbalists like my great-grandfather not only knew what herbs were good for which ailment, they knew about dosages, interactions and side effects as well.

"Take two of these and call me in the morning" is an adage we have all heard dozens of times. Meanwhile, drug and pharmaceutical advertisements promoting their new "wonder drugs" clutter the pages of our reading material.
