Herbs have been with us since the Beginning of Time. For
thousands of years Man has used herbs in one form or another
to treat pain and illness. From the Chinese's life-prolonging
use of ginseng to the Roman Empire's anesthetic applications
of mandrake, herbs have been used throughout history to put
the body in tune with nature. With over 3000 different
medicinal herbs growing in nature, most folks (and some
herbalists as well) rely on a good reference guide when
picking their herbs. HERBLIST is a compilation of many books,
comprehensive listings, and indexes by well-known herbalists
and authors. It's packed with information on the preparation
of herbal teas (tisanes) and tonics, botanical and
pharmacology terms, human afflictions and the herbs that will
aid in the healing process, and a complete listing of the
genus, species, and AKA (also known as) names for over 3000
common herbs. With a database containing over 1 meg of data
(before compression), you'll want to use the HERBLIST's
quick-search feature to find the herbs that are right for
you. Picking the right herbs has never been so easy!
