master herbal article index

This article index is an attempt to collect some of the best information I've found online in a way that allows people who wish to learn it to find the good stuff and skip over the crap.  The links below will carry you off into the perspectives & insights of the best herbalists I know of, and allow you to get a number of sound perspectives on how one might approach various topics.  These perspectives may agree, they may differ, or they may contradict; but all are, I believe, sound, as they're coming from herbalists who've put these ideas into practice and seen the results yielded by them.

Please be aware that, in many cases, this is only a sampling of the articles available by any given herbalist, and I encourage you to use these samplings as a means of seeing which perspectives you resonate with, and exploring those perspectives further via their purveyor's books or websites.

I've generally left out any writings connected to a direct commercial interest, and have used my judgment in weeding out ideas I (objectively) think suck.   This means you'll not find any espousing of such notions as "we're all filled with parasites" or "if herbs aren't standardized, they won't contain the plants active ingredients and so won't be effective."  Nope, none of that here.

Some of the articles listed here have been previously "collected" by other insightful herbalists, and in such cases, I've done my best to credit not only the writer but the collector, or "editor", as well.  Basically, if the article wasn't written by the person whose site it's on, I've noted the site and author.  "MH" references that the source comes from Paul Bergner's journal Medical Herbalism; either by him or other clinical herbalists.  Paul's site is loaded with many more articles, and worth scouring.  Info housed on Henriette's Herbal Homepage is noted by an "HHH", and her blog by "HHB". I couldn't even begin to state what a treasure trove that site is.  An exception is the David Hoffmann articles on healthy.net.  There are far, far, far too may adds and pop ups to warrant taking the time to credit that site more than just this once.  If you have a google toolbar (available at the www.google.com), it'll block the pop-ups that arise when you access Hoffmann's links.
