Starting herbalist

Question
Hi! I just recently had a guest speaker at one of my classes and he happened to mention that he was an herbalist and gave us insight into his lifestyle. He was a male of 40 years of age but looked like a young man of mid-twenties and maximum early thirties. I am becoming very interested in herbs and nutrition because I want a healthy body. Could you give me a way to start learning more about this and what the pros and cons of herbs are??


Answer
I would start with some books  There are quite a few .  And the internet Some articles on herbs would be good.  I believe herbs are extemely good because they are all natural not harming the body or energy of the body. They don't cure but assist in the healing porcess along witha natural lifestyle including diet and healthy attitudes.  They don't jsut treat the syptoms like drugs. Although drugs are healpful in many cases but better to seek alternative theapies like I have done all my life almost.  I always turn to fasting eating good and herbal or homeopathis remedies to assist in the healing process understanding the bodies processes of elimination and digestion.  Just start reading and you will being to understand.  Good for you Jayne
