ES - Herbal guild

[Synrik]

Greetings,

Unfortunately I happen to live in far west Elfsea. But if you wish, I do
happen to have 5 of the top ten volumes on modern herbalism if you wish
to meet to look over them.

Also, the Ft. Worth Osteopathic hospital has some good research, and the
Texas Association of Midwives teaches Herbalism and Homeopathy.

Most all of my research is on modern herbalism as it relates to the
replacement of pharmaceuticals, but I'm sure some of it would help you.

I do not grow any of them.
