I'm now teetering between wood betony and elder....<BR/>sigh<BR/><BR/>and now i have another thesis to write, but the second one is on a nutrition topic of my choosing.

I'd probably go for something weird and fairly unknown like Alder or Bluebells.<BR/><BR/>But then, the longer I practice the more I realize there's so much more than what's written about some of the common medicines like Rose, Elder and Chokecherry.<BR/><BR/>I think I'd really want to pick something that I don't already know super well, but that I'm very attracted to. And something that I would have a lot of potential for working with on a practical day to day basis. For me that would be something that's fairly cooling with relaxing and tonic properties. But it's probably different for you.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'd probably go with Elder. ;)Oakmoss Changelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859460712415875912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10862307.post-33269253448830879792007-10-18T13:37:00.000-04:002007-10-18T13:37:00.000-04:00I'm really leaning towards wood betony/betonica/st...I'm really leaning towards wood betony/betonica/stachys today.
