I have been treating my family for 10 years with the herbs that grow so abundantly in the Ozarks. I also grow my own so I have to forage less, and I know that what I have is really what I need.  I write this information so you can decide for yourself what might work for you. I have read and heard so many stories of individuals that were able to take themselves off of prescriptions for Thyroid, MS,High Blood pressure and chronic pain just by changing their diet and adding herbs.  Diet is a contributor to our overall health and herbs should be added  to help repair damage.                                                                                                                                                                                       I am not a doctor and treating yourself with the wrong thing can have dire consequences just like prescription medicine.  I freely give this information as I do hours of research from every source I can find. Everything from the NIH to The Frugal Forager and other Herbalists and Herbalists Classes .
