A recurring theme in this blog will be about herbs and health. "Are you going to Scarborough Fair ... parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme ..." so goes the song by Paul Simon and Art Grafunkel. When we were young and crooning the ballad it never occurred to me I will be a person who will write about herbs or that I will enter into a discussion about the greens.
Still as time goes - especially when age has moved on a bit - the topic comes naturally. My parents taught me some and their parents taught them some. Friends and well intended people also imparted much valuable knowledge. I thank God for His love and grace toward me, giving me the opportunity to learn. All of a sudden I realized my knowledge is sufficient to help some people in some ways. Maybe a herbal formula or two to meet them at a time of their needs.
More importantly I hope readers will write in and give some of their comments. Those who are skilled in the healing arts are also welcome to give tips and pointers. As the saying goes its more blessed to give !! In so doing we all learn from one another and someone gets blessed. Cheers
