I want to know all about herbs.?

Question

Uses and medicinal values of herbs, pictures, where to get them, how to store and more

Answer 1

My advice is to take a short course in herbalism. You will learn allthat you have asked here and how to use them as well as some reference materials on symptoms etc. It need not be a diploma course but a simple course will tell you what you need to know. Contact a nature colledge or equivelent near you and look up the prices they are usually fairly cheap and most can be done at home.

hope this helps.

Answer 2

You can't expect to learn "all about" anything on a Q&A website! Go to a bookstore, take a course, or search the web for "medicinal herbs" or "culinary herbs."

P.S. This is a broad subject. There are medicinal herbs, culinary herbs, fragrant herbs, and a sort of miscellaneous category of the "useful" plants (dye plants, horsetail, teasel, a long long list).

In addition to herbs there is information on my page that might be helpful.
