The brief comments offered in these pages derive from my readings and, in many, but not all cases, supplemented and corroborated by anecdotal evidence.

While many culinary herbs have a long history of being beneficial for various aspects of our physical wellbeing and undoubtedly help us maintain a healthy lifestyle, people with acute or persistent symptoms of ill health should consult their health professional.

Some general interest comments are made about traditional uses of medicinal herbs for therapeutic purposes. Since the Food and Drugs Authority of the USA does not recognise the therapeutic effect of medicinal herbs, it has not evaluated the statements on this website or any of the products which may be referred to or linked to from this website. No claim, therefore, is made or implied that any such products or statements can diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
