I'm sending this message both to the list and privately. I probably should
have sent the last one the same way, but didn't think about it until after
I sent it off without the carbon copy.

My Dr. reccomended Candied Ginger to help with Morning Sickness. I have
never heard of it CAUSING an abortion??? That is a new one. Pennyroyal
has long been known to be harmful. I believe it can cause bleeding, which
kills not only the baby, but can kill the mother also. It would NOT be a
fun thing!!!

RIGHT!!! And I should have prefaced my earlier post by mentioning the
same, that I am NOT an expert either! I just like to study about herbs and
plants, and I have been pregnant three times (and have three wonderful
boys!). Some much of what I know has been from a need-to-know basis.

Here is a link to THE BEST Medicinal Herbal that I have ever found.
http://www.dk.com/us/shared/product.asp?ISBN=156458187X
You can browse the complete book online (you can't with ALL the DK books, I
guess I've just gotten lucky referencing the ones on topic here?) to find
any other information you might think is relevant.
This is "The Encyclopedia of Herbs, Spices and Flavorings - a Cooks
Compendium" by Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz. As the title indicates, it is more
related to cooking than to medicinal use, and is arranged quite differently.
http://www.dk.com/us/shared/product.asp?ISBN=1564580652
You can order either of these books online using reference number:
us96659h, to get the Discounts.
Another great book on herbs is "The Encyclopedia of Herbs and Spices" By
Sarah Garland (if I remember correctly). I could never find the book for
sale when I had the money, so I check it out from the library quite
often. I don't know the publisher.
I hope this is of some help to you! God bless!
