Be Nerdy, Get Herby
nerd up on one herb every month

This week marks the beginning of my herb of the month column. Within the first week of every month, I will be showcasing a medicinal herb. The write-ups on each herb may be more on the serious side, but I want you to have reliable information that you can use as a resource for your own herbal learning. There’s a lot of misleading stuff on the web (especially in the natural health department), and companies selling a certain product may bias the information they present. One should always be suspicious of online information that’s next to a cheesy internet ad for the herbal version of Viagra.
So push up your glasses and sharpen your favorite #2 pencil for October’s featured herb of the month: valerian.
