Happy Herb Day!

Saturday, May 5 is Herb Day! During the month of May, herbalists and herb lovers all over the nation are celebrating with various events designed to raise awareness about how herbs bring joy and well-being into our daily lives. To learn more about Herb Day, visit www.herbday.org


One of the messages I would like to get out for Herb Day is that herbal medicine has long been known as "the people's medicine". It is for everyone and it should be accessible to anyone who desires to use it...male, female, children, the elderly, even our pets! It is not just for the "crunchy" among us (a stereotype I do not particularly care for). There is a growing body of scientific research validating the traditional uses of many herbs. It is easy to grow some of your own herbs to make your own teas or tinctures, even if you have only a small space. Many grow well in pots and now (spring) is a great time to get started.


If you are ready to learn more, please join me for a FREE herb walk in honor of herb day on Saturday, May 19, 2012. See flyer for details: http://www.artfulherbalist.com/Beauty.htm
