They come in three flavors: 1. For health professionals. 2. For everyone else. 3. For growers. You can access any of them. They are limited to herbs that can be grown in North Carolina -- so you won't find an extensive list of medicinal herbs here. But the information you will find is very thorough and well vetted.

And can't believe that it's taken me all this time. I must have first read about this technique at least 30 years ago and again in numerous herbal medicine courses over the years. The forgotten, ancient medical miracle? The ginger compress -- a hot, moist pack of ginger placed over acutely inflamed muscles and nerves. I never tried it, having lost faith in herbal compresses years ago when I found that those I experimented with seemed to have no discernible healing power beyond the effect of the moist heat. Not so with the ginger compress. It really works. REALLY works. Fast. It costs pennies, takes seconds to make and instantly draws away the swelling and pain... Even better, the effect is lasting. I'll tell you how I made it in a moment.]]> http://www.mindbodyspiritjournal.com/instantly-soothe-and-relieve-swollen-aching-inflamed-muscles-and-nerves/feed/ 2
