Choices, Choices...

The more we learn about herbal wellness, the more we realize that all healthcare is a series of choices. We choose to listen to our bodies and recognize symptoms. We choose to become knowledgable, to arm ourselves with the understanding of modern and herbal medicine. We choose a course of action that suits our situations and beliefs.

The past few articles have been about choices. (Ok, not the mint one, but...) By reading new articles each week, you, dear reader, are empowering yourself to make better choices. A month ago, you knew not to buy herbs that were visably molded or smelled like decay. Now, you know how to choose herbs that have been grown and handled correctly. A month ago, you knew that herbal teas could be medicinal, and that there were some colorful boxes next to the orange-pekoe tea in the grocery store. Now, you know how to choose a commercial herbal tea that will make your health regimen easier without sacrificing quality.

I hope that you continue to check back each week. Every new article helps you make better choices. If you have learned so much in the course of the past month, how much can you learn in the next month? How much can you learn if you check in each week for a year? Who knows? You may be taking my place as a "resident expert" someday.
