Yes ma'am. I couldn't begin to explain everything in the book, but so far I'm learning about the diffrent actions of herbs. I'd love to read the entire book from cover to cover and retain it all, but my brain doesn't work that way. So I'm starting by learning some of the definitions for the terms that are used to explain the actions of an herb, like "cathartic", which means that it helps to move your bowels and "alterative", which means that it cleans your blood.
