Here is my personal materia medica in alphabetic order. All of the information here is compiled data taken from many sources, including books, other traditional herbalists and personal experience. Sometimes your body may react to herbs differently than my own. Please use your head when using herbs, if you notice side effects, stop using the herbs immediately. Dosages are only here as a frame of reference. If you buy pre-made supplements please use the dosage recommended on the product container. I personally start with the lowest dose possible and work my way up until the desired effect is achieved.
