    Great stuff – herbs are also relatively safe whereas pharmaceutical medicines generally have some side effects. Herbs treat the person rather than just the disease and can also have a preventative action, working with nature to support good health – regards J.E. Smith (author of ‘100 Herbs of Power’)
