A fascinating NPR ON POINT presentation<\/a> reminded me of being in some of the 2 years of classes on Herbology in Naturopathic Medical School.<\/p>\n

The healing properties of Belladonna and Arsenic and other notable plants that have been used over time were discussed for their benefits and dangerous properties. Literally a drop of Belladonna or Arsenic can be used to stimulate the immune system and yet when I learned how to use those herbs, they were kept in a locked cabinet because making a mistake using them can have extreme and fatal results.<\/p>\n

The radio program talks about the history of many herbs and an exhibit at the NYC Museum of Natural History on the same subject.<\/p>\n

Listen to the link<\/a> for a provocative and very educational review of some well known and not so well know herbs.<\/p>\n

Please contact me<\/a> if you have any questions. Most herbs that are medicinal need guidance for how much and how one can ingest them before they cause what is known as a “healing crisis” when the positive constituents of the herb become too much for the body to integrate and toxic effects can occur. For most herbs, this takes a very very long time to build up. This NPR radio show talks about some herbs when this can happen immediately or within days if a person ingests too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
