The #1 Question... What is this picture?

Actually that is a picture of the herb Prunella Vulgaris, and herb used to treat Herpes, that I took in Kentucky, but the image sent to me for ID is very similar. I got this question so much that I decided to write an article about it. Click Here to learn about this plant.

Herb Cures

Please do not ask me what herbs to take for your condition. I cannot prescribe herbs for your condition, or diagnose your ailment. Even if I knew every herbal cure for every condition (which I do not), herbalists are basically forbidden to prescribe herbs by the FCC and the FDA. Please use this web site and its many links as a starting place to learn about herbs, do your own research and discuss any supplements you take with your doctor. This information is not intended to diagnose, or treat any diseases.

 I study plants more than I do people, anyway. I'm more able to tell you what that plant in your back yard or woods is, and if its an herb, than to tell you about your medical condition.

Herb Picture Use

Free Picture Use

I have a site that provides some free herb pictures that anyone can use in exchange for a link back to the site. www.freeherbpictures.com . This is in response to requests for free pictures and is maintained at my own expense, so donations are much appreciated.

High Resolution Herb Pictures

I have a CD of Herb Pictures that is a great value for small businesses at http://www.altnature.com/Herbs2003 . Discounts are available for educational use.

Please take into consideration the time and expense involved in herbal photography. I cannot provide free herb pictures for everyone who asks. Payment for use of these pictures helps pay for photography and web site expenses. I am a freelance writer, web designer and photographer and so its part of making a living.

Why all the ads on the site?

It allows me to spend more time researching herbs and working on the web site, instead of trying to figure out how to pay for it!

This information is intended as an introduction to how medicinal herb plants are used. I am not a medical professional and I cannot prescribe what herbs are right for you. I cannot answer medical questions, so please do not ask me (or any other complete stranger for that matter) to prescribe herbal cures, treatment or to guess what is wrong with you.

If you use herbs, do so responsibly. Consult your doctor about your health conditions and use of herbal supplements. Herbs may be harmful if taken for the wrong conditions, used in excessive amounts, combined with prescription drugs or alcohol, or used by persons who don't know what they are doing. Just because an herbal remedy is natural, does not mean it is safe! There are herbs that are poisonous such as Poison Hemlock, Jimson weed, and many more.

I will be happy to help you ID wild plants that you find, or help you locate herbs, plants or herb seeds and especially pictures.
