| Welcome to Pecan Moon Herbal Web Home.We love Herbs here at the Pecan moon.Many people are turning back to a time when we took or health and happiness into our own hands.Herbs are plants that people have used to serve us for 5,000 years.Records as far back as the Sumerians describe the uses of Tyme.Babylonian clay tablets from 3000 B.C. illustrate medical treatments and record herbal imports to other parts of the ancient world.The earliest known Chinese herbal manuscrips lists 365 medicinal substances and their actions; many of these are still in use today,notably Ma Huang(Ephedra Sinica,from which the modern drug Ephedrine is derived.The Greeks and the Romans, Egypt and India had their herbs of choice for cooking and healing and beauty.All cultures have had their own uses for the wonderful plants we call herbs.Some of the topics I will have in the website will be: Herbs for Cooking,Herbs for the Garden,Herbs for Health and Beauty.I will also have many Good Links .There will be Recipes and Remedies for Good Health,Good Food and Good Living.I will have remedies and recipes from well known books as well as the kind handed down by word of mouth by our Grannys old wives tales.If you have anything you would like to contribute please e-mail it to me and I will use it.This is a simple project of my own and not an attempt to heal the world,just to provide some info and fun.The information on this website is primarily for reference and education.It is not intended to be a substitute for the advice of a physician.I do not advocate self-diagnois or self-medication: I urge anyone with continuing symptoms,however minor,to seek medical advice. BE AWARE ,any plant substance, whether used as food or medicine, may be the cause of an allergic reaction in some people . I hope this will be a fun website ,please feel free to contact me by e-mail with any ideas.... Pecan Moon |
