		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it really is &#8220;Change you can conceive in,&#8221; as Newsweek put it. In any case babies are popping up everywhere these days, and people have been asking me about herbs and healthy pregnancy. This is what I tell them. 1.

		<description><![CDATA[Darcey is hosting this month&#8217;s herbal blog party. She asked us to write about the plant that first inspired us. Well. I&#8217;ve been playing with plants since before I could talk, and there were so many that I loved when I was little. Plantain, ground ivy and all-heal in the yard; chives, thyme and lemon [...]]]></description>
