Welcome to my new group. I was searching around cafemom for a group such as this and I was unable to find one, so I decided to start my own. I really do not know much about home remedies, or herbs. But I have read many articles on the subject and I find it fascinating. As of right now, we do not have medical insurance and taking the family to the Dr is just too expensive. So I am hoping that there are some wise ladies out there on cafemom who can give practical advice and great alternatives to traditional medicine.

The only rules I have are NO CUSSING, NO MAGIC SPELLS KIND OF THING.

I want to say that I am a born-again Christian. I am amazed at the different plants and things that God gave us. I know that alot of times people that are into herbs and home remedies are into mother earth, inner well being,mysticism, magic spells, that kind of thing. So I ask that you please refrain from that sort of thing and just give herbal solutions to some common problems.

I think that's pretty much it, I'm excited to see what you ladies have to say.

	by cohensmommy219 on Oct. 4, 2007 at 6:17 PM Thank you for starting this group. My family is in the same situation w/ no health insurance at the moment. So, any information for herbal/home remedies would be a God send!
	by MessianicMom on Oct. 11, 2007 at 8:19 AM Thank you for making this group! It's so hard to find an herbal group that doesn't have to do with witchcraft. I used to be heavily into witchcraft and I strive to stay as far away from it as possible. So thank you!
	by muslimah on Oct. 15, 2007 at 11:55 AM I have a huge interest in natural healing. The only thing I use a doctor for is to have blood taken and sent to the lab for results. My grandmother had lucemia and was given a couple years to live, 20 years before she died. Natural medicine is what kept her alive so long. I am also a practicing Muslim who believes the Quran when it tells us, there is cure on this earth for every illness.
	by LifesAgift on Oct. 18, 2007 at 6:24 AM I think it's awesome that you started this group, and thank you for posting that sweet photo of your family -- just beautiful! Your kids all have such nice names, too :) I too believe God created everything -- incl the herbs, etc -- and that they're for our good if used properly, etc. On the contrary, pharmaceutical drugs are not always for our good. I think it's great you want to keep out all the new age, earth-worshipping stuff -- it's so unfortunate that it infiltrates so much of the natural remedy world. Bless you, and thanks again.

	by ljg38 on Nov. 17, 2007 at 5:58 PM Thanks for such a great group! I have been looking for one just like this. I am a SAHM of three and I have been practicing herbal and folk remedies for almost 18 years. I love using herbals and alternative medicine to help my family and friends out. I also enjoy growing and harvesting herbs out of the garden. Lucinda http://sycamorecrossingcountrycrafts.com/default.aspx

	by DJLadyK on Nov. 27, 2007 at 1:20 PM Glad I found this group! I am always looking for a natural way to heal things before conventional meds. I have an autoimmune disorder and also allergies such as I get older. Cant wait to get to know you all! ~ Bright Blessings!~ ~Lady K )0( ~
	by kaykysmom on Dec. 7, 2007 at 4:26 PM Hello, I am glad I found this group. I just started getting into the herbal remedies. I dont trust the drug companies completely. I would rather try things that God gave us first rather than a synthetic option. I am hoping to learn a lot here and if I stumble across a good remedy I will be sure to share. Thanks for forming this group. Look forward to chatting.
	by Triessence on Dec. 10, 2007 at 5:40 PM Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been practicing natural remedies for several years now. However, there is so much to learn in this field, that I actually know very little. It is my hope that I can offer what I know and receive more education. When I received my degree in massage therapy, I I learned quite a bit there, as well. I will not discuss what I believe or don't believe re: religion as that has nothing to do with this group.
