I do believe in modern medicine - and prevention.

I grew up with herbs..I understood herbs before understanding the configuration of a western chord.

Before they could be copyrighted (perhaps in the UK they already are) the medicinal qualities of various plants were catalogued in writing - and passed on through oral history. I would say - my current home library - is balanced even between musical-folk-history and folk- herbal-history....the music I purchased and the herb books are legacy.

I am currently blessed with an active, vibrant, disease free life:
Perhaps, it is genetic
Perhaps, it is diet and exercise.
Perhaps, it is prevention and prudently applied herbal cures at needed times

Upon HEED - these are the herbs I grow (and pluck wild in the fields) and most commonly use when in medical distress.

Comfrey
Catnip
Malva
St John's ( in olive oil - basked two weeks in the summer sun - harvest the flowers late June in NA - healing salve)
Wintergreen
Peppermint
Licorice Root
Horehound
Hops
Wormwood
Vallarium
Yarrow,, yarrow and yarrow - all parts and all kinds...flowers, leaves, shoots and roots...depending on need.

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Friear Lawernce is well versed in plants

O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies
In herbs, plants, stones and their true qualities:
For nought so vile that on the earth doth live
But to the earth some special good doth give,...
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied;
And vice sometimes by action dignified.
Within the infant rind of this small flower
Poison hath residence and medicine power:

For those that require THC - I consider your situation legit if it is 6 months until verified terminal....for you tortured poor souls ...what can we say???....4:20 comes more than twice a day...

in Oregon spouses may assist in suicide without reproach...a while back I received a chilling Christmas letter from a dear friend...describing lying next to her husband as the body grew cold.
