Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[yarrow@sfo.com]

I've taken Moore's field class and highly recommend it. Also his 
books: Medicinal Plants of the ...Mountain West, ...Pacific West. His 
website http://www.swsbm.com/ has a wealth of information, including 
all his clinical manuals, which give information on dosage, clinical 
indications, and differential diagnosis (but the info is highly 
concentrated, so you have to know the herbs or the physiology to make 
best use of them). He's also made available pdfs of many Eclectic 
publications (the period in medicine where herbs were used as a 
primary treatment).

By the way, one of the oft-repeated observations of many herbalists 
in this tradition is that the herbs you need are often growing 
nearby. It's also true that many herbs have multiple uses. To 
beginners or those unfamiliar with herbal med, this may seem another 
way of saying that there's not much difference or that it doesn't 
matter what you use. Not so. But, as with foods, what grows locally 
is usually better for you.
