Making Herbs Simple

I just finished viewing Making Herbs Simple Volumes 1 and 2 by Shoshanna Pearl Easling and what a treasure! Ive wanted to learn some herbal medicinal recipes for a while and I just wasnt very confident on how to go about it. Tinctures, poultices, and other such things were a complete mystery to me.

Having a visual demonstration makes all the difference in the world! I liked Shoshannas fun and cheerful personality, but what I found even more helpful was her clear explanations. She takes nothing for granted and yet doesnt talk down to the viewer. The only negative thing I could say is that theres not a volume 3 and 4! 




Thanks to Abby Jo at Forgotten Way Farms who offers these DVDs for sale, I decided to give them a try... and Im so glad I did! Even though Shoshanna doesnt cover every single herb out there, I felt like I learned enough basics to venture out a bit further. For example, knowing what a tinture is and how it is basically made, I feel like I could now read a recipe for another herbal tincture and make it successfully. 




I liked this series so much, I started researching Shoshannas Bulk Herb Store and found other things that were helpful such as her weekly YouTube lessons - 40 episodes so far! Im looking forward to working my way through these. 


If Obama Care really comes to pass, I suspect well all be finding ways to cure at least simple issues on our own. Perhaps its a good idea we get started.
