Just in general ?? Or for a specific purpose. I know a little. If you want to find a great source for medicinal herb plants and seeds, try Richters herbs of Canada. They are picky about how much you order and what and when, etc... but they have stuff I cannot find anywhere else.

There are a few pretty good free online herbal references, one called "A Modern Herbal" an old herbal remedy book (sponsored pages by Mountain Rose Herbs), and another is a remedy w/herb to cure database (sponsored Annies Remedies). Google Books has a library function that you can search for old out of print herbals (herb encyclopedias) in PDF format to read online, or sometimes download, for reference.

 I just finished reading the Medicine Wheel Garden by E. Barrie Kavasch. It has alot of great ideas and uses for many native american herbs and ideas on starting a herb garden that is peaceful and spiritual as well as useful.

This is the first time I have posted, so if I am doing something wrong - please forgive.  I think Henriette's Herbal Homepage is the best online resource I have found.  However, I always try to back anything online up with either multiple sources or a printed resource.  A wonderful printed resource (in my opinion) is Rodale's Encylopedia and it was definately worth purchasing.

Two Books: The Rodale Herb Book is packed full of medicinal herb info (in my house, its affectionately called the herb bible). Another book I have that might be of use is called 'How Indinas use wild plants for food, medicine and crafts' by Frances Densmore.  Lot of 'backwood' knowledge in that book. (ISBN 0-486-2319-8) and printed in 1974. Might be a hard find, but as I said, very useful.

What do you want to know about medicinal herbs?  I grow lots and make my own tinctures.  I am one year into getting my clinical herbalist certificate.  I grow echinacea, arnica, calendula, comfrey, black cohosh, st. john's wort, sweet woodruff, bay, basil,  parsley, cilantro, oregano, thyme, fennel, yarrow, dill, garlic, onion, lemon balm, and many others.
