Questions about herbalism?
« Thread Started on Oct 14, 2009, 11:44pm »
I am writing (concocting?) an herbalism course and am wondering what questions one might have about it. Feel free to post them here or send me a private message.

I think your question's a bit too open-ended. What kind of questions are looking for, m'lady?

Frankly, I'd like to know everything. The history of, uses for plants, how to grow them, how to construct a drying rack, how to harvest, how to make tinctures, how to identify plants in the wild, what those cool sample books are called (I started one years ago, but recall not even what it's called now) and how to make one, sachets, storage, symbolism of plants...

Egad. Only due to my vast ignorance on the subject do I not have more questions! ;D Perhaps a narrowing of the subject, like medicinal, decorative, specific cultures' herbalism lore, etc.?

I agree there's a lot of scope there!

I would be really interested in knowing what are the 10(or 5 or 7 or whatever) best plants for the household herbal first aid kit and how to use them.

After that I'd be really interested in examples of period herbal treatments that have stood the tests of time. And perhaps it might be fun to add some of the most outrageous treatments that no one would dream of doing anymore.

By the way, Lady Agdta, does this mean we can expect to see you teaching in Cold Keep at some future date...? ;)
