Alternative medicine has long been an interest of mine. I've been fascinated by herbal healing since at least age 8 or 9, when I first read The Clan of the Cave Bear. Since then I'd read up on it on and off. A few years ago, when financial troubles made the cost of seeking medical help for various ailments impractical, I began to study it more seriously. I've had some great results with it. Herbal medicines is a good way to take back control of caring for yourself and your family.
