Hey, how do I find good books about herbalism that aren't filled with unproven nonsense and psuedospiritualism? I am looking into making salves and balms and I need to actually be able to select what herbs to use for what type of balm.

books titled 'medicinal plants X area' are a good resource without the hippy, new age bullshit.

Honestly man, it's the hardest pill to swallow but the only real way to get into foraging for food or medicine is to just start learning your plant genuses, learn your plant species, apply that knowledge to all the species in your area, and then start collecting things to use. That is the only useful way to actually find anything you're looking for.

I don't actually intend on foraging these- I'm going to be growing or purchasing medicinal herbs once I figure out which to use. I just want to be able to use actually effective plants, so I'm not a con artist.

Oh uhhh idk. Not purslane. It's a tasty herb, but all the claims that it's medicinal are hippie bullshit.

I know specifically rae broccoli sprouts and kale when frozen or blended and then let to sit are really good for you because they release a chemical called sulphuriphane that does all kinds of crazy shit for you.

Raw ginger, tumeric, and cattail gel all make for a really good topical antibiotic for cuts and infections.
