Thanks for sharing that reading tip! There are most definitely some advantages to being alive in the digital age. As it was Culpeper's mission to spread knowledge of herbs to everyone who wanted to learn, I'm sure he would have embraced the internet with gusto. I still consider myself to be a student of herbs even after 13 years in practice. It really is a life long pursuit when you have a passion! It's wonderful to connect with you, and I'm very grateful indeed for your kind support of my work (in whatever form that takes.) Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for the tip to read Culpepper. One of the best things about the internet age is that archive.org puts Culpepper's 1652 work into my digital hands within 5 minutes. I already nabbed Gerard (1636) and Turner (1551) from there. May upgrade to a paid subscription after consulting with my wife, who is the one for whom I have commenced study into herbalism.
Wow! I didn't know that work was available in the public domain. That's so great to know it's there for everyone to access. I think that Culpeper would be letting out a loud whoop of joy if he knew just how many people his work would reach (and across the ages!) Thank you for posting this tip!
Now that the flowers are beginning to awaken, I have plans to make some lovely hydrosols :) Lavender is always a favourite, but I also have a small jasmine plant I'd like to experiment with. There's a really great book by Lydia Bosson on the topic of making floral waters. It's called "Hydrosol Therapy" but it is rather difficult to get hold of. I hope to be able to write a lot more about this subject in the coming months. Thanks for the vote!
