RE: St John's Wort & Angelica: Plant Profiles & Medicinal/Culinary Uses

I noticed your emphasis on safe and am curious, have you run across unsafe recipes? How do you distinguish between the two? I keep running into conflicting information on essential oils, for example, and when two “experts” downright contradict each other, I’m left just wanting to avoid using them. I imagine the use of herbs is similar.

Do you use any particular books on herbs? I’ve got Rosemary Gladstar’s “Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health” saved on Amazon and was wondering if it was the best one for a brand new beginner.

I LOVE Rosemary Gladstar's books! She is a wealth of information. One day I would love to visit her retreat and farm.

For the SAFE thing, I know some herbs don't mix well especially with lye soap recipes, but they may be good for the melt & pour soaps.

I also have read and researched so much about EOs- and I too, get conflicting information- it really is annoying at times. I generally use Rosemary's info or the Young Living website for any questions I have. Those two seem to be the most trustworthy to me.

Oh, I’m glad to have that confirmation! Now I can buy with more confidence :) Thank you!
