I teach free, online herbal medicine classes: Herbal Medicine 101 https://rumble.com/c/c-618325

My passion is being outside, enjoying the woods, the water and the garden. My mission is to revive the tradition of “folk medicine” in America, so families can care for their own ailments at home, using the herbs God gave us for that purpose.
