I am Shirley Dawson, a blogger living in the beautiful Ozark hill country of Northwest Arkansas. I am a nature lover and a lover also of our great Creator God. For several years, I’ve explored various natural treatments and medicines, especially using herbs. I’ve developed quite a passion for learning more about our natural world. At this point, I am a very interested amateur.

My personal belief is that our Creator has provided a multitude of plants and herbs on this planet to help us live the best physical lives we can. I utilize herbs myself to enhance my body and be more comfortable in this physical realm I live in. I enjoy researching and sharing my findings and thoughts with others. That is the purpose of this blogsite. I am not a medical professional and have no intention of diagnosing or treating any physical ailment, only sharing information I find during my research that may be of benefit.

This site contains many links to other websites that provide information and links. These links are provided for informational purposes only, I do not endorse them or their information. These sites may contain affiliate links, which, if clicked on and items are purchased, the site owners receive a commission. I, too, have a few affiliate links to items I have purchased or plan to try myself. I assume no responsibility or liability for any of these products. My sole purpose with this blogsite is to provide information that you can use to make your own decisions about utilizing in any format. I created this blog mainly to consolidate resources I have found about herbs and herbalism for personal use.

So What is Herbalism ?

It is the art and science of using herbs for health. You can learn much about using herbs for health, but the U.S. doesn’t allow you to practice medicine like a doctor. Our government requires a medical license to do this in the U.S.

You can complete certain online studies and even obtain a certificaition of completion but you are not a medical doctor.

Since it’s illegal for herbalists to treat, cure, or diagnose patients, there’s an FDA-compliant vocabulary herbalists must adhere to if they choose to market an herbal product. Through compliant copy, an herbalist is responsible for their own legal protection.   (quote from https://botanicalinstitute.org/how-to-become-an-herbalist/)
