NATURAL HEALING: You Better Get Back to Nature
Ras Bobby - Saturday, October 6th, 2012 at 10:13 AM

Editor’s note: We come from a culture which is steeped in the tradition of using herbs to enhance our lives. In Dominica, we are blessed to have such rich plant ecology with herbs to address many of our needs. We cook with them, we bathe with them, we even heal with them. With the advent of allopathic medicine in the West, some of the perceived validity of these practices may have been lost, but not entirely. It’s always surprising to me the number of people who can identify the “mystery plants” that we post here on DNO occasionally, which solidifies my point. We know these things; the name, use, and properties of a given plant are never too far removed from our awareness. When we begin to appreciate that herbology is a complete system, and that even “modern” medicine is built upon the pillars of this discipline, then it will be easy for us to get back to nature and, in the process, get back to our nature.

Here is a comprehensive list of herbal products for your review and benefit provided by a trained expert in the field:
