Herbalism
This will eventually be an online recipe book of herbal remedies and decorations. For now it is merely a simple explanation of why I have included this topic.
I am a person who loathes medication. I have mild asthma and at one point was simultaneously on 3 puffers in order to combat the symptoms. The side affects were the shakes, racing heart, nervousness, not to mention they tasted like three flavours of shit. It caused me to wean myself off those and look at exercise and controlling my environment to avoid attacks. A much more productive and healthy solution. In my spiritual quest I stumbled upon paganism and witchcraft which had strong links to herbal remedies and homeopathic medicine.
The goal of these remedies was to balance the body, prevent problems, and guide it to recovery. It seemed much more reasonable to me to use foods and smells to feel better than drugs with serious side effects. BUT,I still go to a doctor when I am very ill and to get check-ups.
My philosophy towards herbalism is that it is a lifestyle choice towards better health. It is complimentary to conventional medicine in order to reduce the need for other medication and decrease the time of use of those drugs. It is no substitute for quality medical care for serious illness.
