Eat Local With Great Taste
I am enjoying Barbara Kingsolver's new book, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life," in which she writes about her family's year-long effort to grow, purchase and eat only locally produced food. I'd like to give some of her ideas a try, and it occurred to me that perhaps growing and using more herbs for nutrition and flavor would be a good idea. What do you think?

Choosing An Herbalist
Finding a qualified practitioner I am a fifty five year old woman with normal aging conce s and feel that it would be beneficial to use herbs instead of pharmaceuticals for my few muscular aches and pains, occasionally hot flash, low energy and inability to sleep through the night, and gradual weight gain. I read what I can about herbs but feel uncertain about what would be best when I got to the store and am overwhelmed by too much information. I already have a shelf full of herbs and supplements but have forgotten why I bought them in the first place.

The Herbalist Is In: Calm Down, Unwind
Last Saturday as I shopped at one of the big box stores, I felt irritated by the crowd because it was hard to maneuver with my cart. Though I had shopped carefully, I was disappointed at the checkout when as usual my purchases totaled more tha I had expected. Getting out of the parking lot was aggravating and on the way home, I found myself cranky and driving too aggressively. While unpacking my purchases at home, I turned on the TV but immediately turned it off as I felt my blood rising in frustration and anger at the day's news.

Keeping Kids Healthy
The kids have been in school for only a few weeks but already have runny noses and coughs. Are there any herbs that would help to keep them healthy and resist all the new bugs they get exposed to in the classrooms? Changes of season and exposure to new kids and new germs in the classroom environment make keeping our children healthy challenging. Preschoolers and kindergarteners seem to pick up everything. Some kids are more susceptible to illness if they have preexisting conditions such as asthma and allergies.
