Every since I was young, I accompanied my mother to the health food store on a regular basis.  She had an illness that the doctors couldn’t diagnose so she searched for her own answers and solutions through natural means.  And I saw my mother’s health improve from not being able to work or have the energy to care for her family to being able to return to work.  She got her health back.  That has always stayed with me and I’ve personally experienced my own health improve using alternative therapies.  I love studying herbs and natural ways to treat illnesses.  Many of my family and friends ask me questions concerning their health challenges.  And it feels good to help and share my knowledge; but at same time, I want more training and to widen my knowledge base.  At this point, I’m all about learning and continuing to learn as much as I can until I decide what path I want to follow when it comes to herbal medicine.

On a side note, my great Uncle would help people in his hometown naturally with plants and things he grew or found foraging in the woods. He’d develop recipes to treat various illnesses and I got a hold of one of the books he’d use as a reference guide.  So learning about these things is in my blood.
