Can you recommend a knowledgeable herbalist?

Hiya. I’ve been scrounging around the macrobiotic joints who, like every other business here, sell exactly the same crap at a different price.

Does anyone know of a real herbalist who actually knows the botanical-scientific names of the ingredients he/she is using ?

It’s like going to the nurseries. 90% only know the plant with the big green leaves as a Tabacon.:wink:

Wanna scare off burglars ? Hang books in your windows :shock:. They’re like garlic to vampires !:lol:

Maybe if you try being a bit nicer you’ll get better service. I’m sure there are good herbalists here. Never heard of such a thing as hanging books in windows!!

Never make assumptions ! As far as hanging books, you’d better bring them with you !

Here’s a source for a few.

I have a great book, unfortunately (for non-German speakers) it is in German. The title is “Pflanzen der Tropen” which means Tropical Plants. It has pretty much every plant (ornamental and food plants) that I have seen in Costa Rica so far. And it has the common names and the scientific names. I am sure there are similar books available in English.

I have many good plant books but still find plants growing wild here or occasionally from a [i]vivero[/i]that are not in any of them.
I take photos of them go to this website [url=http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/namegal/]Find my name[/url] where usually, I can get it identified in a few days. Once, ID’ed, you can search for additional information.
