The Herbal Encyclopedia

This is a listing of a few of the references used to compile the information within the Herbal Encyclopedia thus far, as well as books that you may be interested in for your own reference library. It is not a totally complete listing, as some of the information is from scribbles made on sheets of paper long ago during my studies, or from books long ago lost or "borrowed" in some manner. I currently have over 500 reference books dealing with the various subjects touched on here in the Herbal Encyclopedia, so putting them all here would merely cut down the space for the important stuff. These are the ones that will get you started learning and whet your appetite for more herbal knowledge. Any one of these resources will get you started on your quest for learning about how to protect your health, or growing your own medicinal plants, or finding your own spiritual path in life.
