[QUOTE="OKIE LADY, post: 2130037, member: 28040"] OKC9-12LEDR1, Thanks for the book and site info. I'm ordering Dr Christensen's book; I took a look at it on Amazon and couldn't believe that it had just about EVERYTHING. The Western Botanical site is good too. I really liked your spreadsheet ideas. That would seem to keep most everything clarified and more orderly (ie: teas, tinctures, hydrosols, etc). I, most likely, will never get to the depth of herbal knowledge you and your wife have, but that won't keep me from researching (which I really enjoy). For now, I'm probably more likely to learn about an herb and just purchase already made caps from the health food store (if the stuff is made in the USA); BUT I realize too some of the herbs, even those just used on an everyday basis, nothing exotic, could eventually have a shortage, not to mention OTC meds in stores. This morning my husband and I were listening to FOX News regarding North Korea and their growing paranoid, preemptive attitude; you know, I'll get you before you get me. We discussed China being a good friend to No. Korea and backing them up, which could cause tons of shortages in the US. Then we thought, if China did that, it would break them financially because the US buys so much from them. Who knows! My point is, Americans have this it's never gonna happen attitude BUT it is becoming more and more apparent this kind of thing can happen in a heartbeat! I guess I'm saying all of this, mainly convincing myself to get some EO's, some basic herbs that I DO know about, and to learn and feel more prepared! Sure, I can make a run on CVS and get a bag full of cold, cough, aspirin, antacids, etc but they, UNLIKE herbs won't last so long. I mean, archeologists have found seeds in ancient Egyptian tombs, planted them and they sprouted. That gives me the idea that herbs WILL stay potent for pretty long. [/QUOTE]
