I appreciate that. I'm excited to learn more about this and start making some goodness. If you ever feel up to it, I and I'm sure many others would love another post on this topic. And which recipes have worked for you and how you use herbs (like the alfalfa). Thanks again Kim enjoy the rest of your week!

I also like anything by Susan Weed, and for information on children's healing Herbal Healing for Children by Demetria Clarke, and Herbal Remedies for Children's Health by Rosemary Glastar.<br /><br />Susan Weed has a lot of youtube videos about harvesting, the use of the herbs, as well as how to prepare them. <br /><br />The elderberry I buy from Bulk Herb Store....http://www.bulkherbstore.com/ Mountain Rose Herbs is my other go to source for herbs. <br /><br />Shelf life is about three weeks. It was three weeks ago today that I made the batches and they are just about done, so perfect amount. Both Reece and I take it daily, and there have been a few days where we might have come in contact with people who were ill or we felt a little rundown, and we took extra doses. <br /><br />Hope that helps. No apology necessary, always happy to answer questions :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-3665293544691693972014-12-09T00:19:27.539-05:002014-12-09T00:19:27.539-05:00I would like some books about making medicine, usi...I would like some books about making medicine, using essential oils, and other natural ways of living. Do you have some favorites? Or recommend online sites; I have used DIY natural, mommypotamus, and Wellness mama. Also where do u find your elderberry outside or at the store?

I would love to forage some, but I am not confident in my skills to identify them, and if I make a mistake the results wouldn't be so good :) Hoping to find someone to go out with next year to harvest some in the wild.<br /><br />I don't usually use this herb store, I usually order from Mountain Rose Herbs, but they were out of stock on a few things I wanted, so I decided to try The Bulk Herb, and they had everything I was looking for this time around. Really pleased with the service and product from both places.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-39394189785256323712014-11-21T14:50:01.011-05:002014-11-21T14:50:01.011-05:00Have you ever thought about writing a home remedy ...Have you ever thought about writing a home remedy recipe book (or have you already written one)?

We can't seem to find wild elderberry around here. May I ask what made you go with that particular bulk herb store?
