I use herbs for healing myself, and have studied a bit in medicinal uses of herbs. Also worked briefly on an herb farm. I use essential oils too. AND at one point used plants to dye my handmade papers. Great post. In my dreams--the visit to Crete. I had to chuckle. There would be so many places to visit.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.com
