As I do not have access to orach, it will have to do for now. A comparison at 
another time would clear up the issue. As for medicinal properties, it is my 
opinion that most of what Platina recommends is for medicinal reasons, so 
substituting an ingredient based on it's medical properties may be more 
appropriate in this case. Your arguement bears weight however and when the 
opportunity presents itself, I will try it out.

Bear with me folks, if I am not responding to the list, I just got out of 
minor surgery this morning and am pretty groggy. Nothing serious, but surgery 
is surgery. And I had the most god-awful room mate, who made loud phonecalls 
into the night and whined like a baby when they gave her a pain tablet 
instead of a shot of demerol. I tried to console her, but she cried more than 
 my 3 year old.
