tinctures, that are in practice, or that, in turn, have their OWN schools. We MUST avoid centralization of the herb industry...these are

from flaking tape to digital files. You can download some mp3 files here. Now including my Symphony #2 - The Anasazi

My favorite (unsponsored) links of the month

Herbal Vade Mecum by Gazmen Skenderi (email)

Dr. Skenderi has written perhaps the best simple reference book on herbs I have seen in decades...657 1/2 page to full page

monographs on herbs, EOs and lipids, using sources ranging from the Eclectics to British phytotherapy, Pacific Rim and European

research and personal experience. Drawing on 30 years as a phytopharmacist and pharmacognosist, he has a knack for emphasizing

reliable research, practical uses and pertinent contraindications. A compact, dense, authoritative and thoughtful reference book that I

highly recommend. It can be purchased by check or money order (payable to Herbacy Press) from Herbacy Press, 144 Wheaton Place,
