Oxydendron, Polemonium and Rhododendron...cool. (new, 7/99)

Bioregional
Herb Resources: former students and friends that sell ethically
wildcrafted or organically grown bulk herbs and tinctures, that are in practice,
or that, in turn, have their OWN schools. We MUST avoid centralization of
the herb industry...these are herbalists and sources of materials of use
for the hundreds of regional herbalists and small manufacturers of botanical
products around the United States...as well those that prefer LOCAL herbs.

Herb FAQ and Culinary
Herb FAQ, maintained by Henriette Kress for the newsgroup alt.folklore.herbs.
Before I was an herbalist, I was a musician and composer. Recently I have been transferring some of my symphonic music from flaking tape to digital files. You can download some mp3 files here.
Thanks to Henriette
Kress, these materials are available by FTP (sometimes a little
faster than the Web) at
