Hello Everyone,

I am very interested in learning more about herbs. My knowledge of herbs is none, but I have been using some of the recommended adaptogenic formulations in this forum and will start soon a 1 year protocol for lyme disease for which I feel I need to lear more. There are my books out there and before I invest in one or several, i'd like hear your suggestions.

What I am looking for is a book where I can learn about the uses of plants but also about their chemistry. I wan to be able to safely used various combinations of plants, learn if they have tannings, or are high in estrogen, or if they have any chemical compounds I should be aware of, or for how long they should be used. I want to be able to have a reliable reference on hand, instead of having to go to a bunch of online sources every time I am creating my own capsules.

As an example, I have been using echinacea for the past 2 month and today I found out it should be used for limited periods of time and/or at the onset of a viral infection. In general, I want to be more informed about what i am doing and that is why I am reaching out to the Cure Zone community.

Looking forward to your suggestions
