My most trusted local herbalist has told me that he uses it the same as regular Mullein, and it is a lot more abundant around here, but I haven't been able to find any usable info on the interwebs. http://www.henriettesherbal.com/plants/verbascum-blattaria doesn't have any info on it. I would first like to know if it can be used as a substitute for Mullein, and if that isn't the case, find out what it is used for! Thank you, Ben~ 2ranch@gmail.com I hope one of you folks can help me, I am trying to find out more about Moth Mullein.

I noticed that in the ginger pink tea one adds elderberries but it was pointed out that they are inedible until boiled so what is the action for adding this to the tea - raw from the tree? Every year I worry about picking my elderberries and now once again they are in abundance growing on what seems to be a vine like tree - no spikes - do I pick them ?

I use many of the herbs listed here with great results. My husband is one of those who never could see the value of 'all those weeds' but he is finally coming around as he witnesses how they really benefit our family.

This post - this blog - is so fascinating, but I really have very little idea how to start. I'll have to look at some of those resources.

It's not hard to learn about herbs yourself. If you're worried about safety, start with the food-herbs, like chickweed and nettles and sow thistle and mustard and sorrel and violets, and, well, you get the picture. There are many more very safe and gentle herbs out there. As far as mange goes, I would check out Juliette de Bairacli Levy's books. Her <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FComplete-Herbal-Handbook-Dog-Cat%2Fdp%2F0571161154&tag=theherskit-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325" rel="nofollow">Herbal Handbook for Dog and Cat</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theherskit-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FCats-Naturally-Natural-Healthier-Domestic%2Fdp%2F0571162312%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1198421911%26sr%3D1-4&tag=theherskit-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325" rel="nofollow">Cats Naturally</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theherskit-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> would be very useful.

Learning about herbs is great fun. If you haven't found it yet, you might visit the "Herbwifery Forum" at http://herbwifery.org . I started it a little over a year ago as a place for grassroots herbalists to exchange information, and it's grown into a really sweet little community with a lot of thoughtful discussion.

My Grandmother was an herbalist and your comments brought back wonderful memories of her TRYING to teach me something. I have gotten away from my roots but in the process of dealing with Thyroid Cancer and all the problems coming after treatment (Hair loss, my other wise healthly skin going crazy, stress, insomina to name a few) I have been looking at other ways to help myself that are not Pharmaceutical!
