Welcome - Table of Contents

 This is a blog that will be documenting my herbal journey. I've always wanted to heal friends and family with herbs and I've finally gotten the chance to be able to do that. Not as frequently as I would like, but enough that I can attempt to keep my family healthier than usual. On this blog I will be marking my herbal research and recipes, adding to it as my research furthers. This post will act as a Table of Contents (each completed page will have a link that will take you to that specific post) to help organize the different posts. I'm not sure how it will end up looking, but I'm hoping it will be straight forward. Feel free to comment, add your thoughts, and/or your own research for me to look into and potentially add to my own research. I will do my best to add sources to my posts, if you notice any missing please let me know and I will attempt to find where I got the information and fix the error.

I've been debating on where to start with this blog. I figured I should start with some recipes I've already tried with my family with some success. Adding pages to talk about the different herbs involved with those recipes, and perhaps the different herbs found in some healing teas I already have. I also will probably go into the herbs and plants found in my own yard along with my families. The next question to myself was whether I should only stick with plants that are useful, or add the plants I end up researching and finding out aren't useful in healing too. I might dedicate a section to plants that aren't useful in herbal healing, but have yet to decide how to go about that.

Without further ado.

...I've set myself up with a lot of homework and research. I guess I better get started. I'll be starting with filling out the recipies with my own notes and where I got them from, how they've worked for me and my own observations. I'll move onto the ingredients and their information after that, and then start filling out the basic herbilist infromation. So I'll be working backwards in a ways, I guess. If you find this blog early on, welcome. If you find it once it's more established, also welcome, and I hope it's to your liking.
