I have known just one herbalist all my adult life. She saved my life once when the doctors couldn't or wouldn't help me. I will never forget it. I will be at a Kentucky Derby party this weekend, but I would urge anyone who wants to know more about the power and healing of herbs to join Cindy Parker this weekend near Athens Ohio.

My mother was an herbalist; I so wish you had known her; she would have loved you and you would have loved her.
ReplyDeleteYour article made me think of the time Mother sent me to the drugstore to buy "tincture of cantherides" because she needed it for one of her formulas.
Tincture of cantherides" is also known as "Spanish Fly" which I did not know!
I'm going to put the article about the incident on my blog because it's funny!
What do ya s'pose the spanich fly part of the tincture was for?
