  • We've got a new herbalist.  Loryhl Davis of Herbs of the World is now answering questions for us and she has a different slant. You can write Loryhl with your medical questions at herbalist.  We'll have  her information posted shortly.  Karen Mallinger of All Goode Gifts, our previous herbalist, has done more than her share and we thank her profusely.
