Newbie to natural "stuff" - need resources

[Mickiswing]

I've recently started investigating and using more natural products in our home care, and also in our diets. Does anyone have any good links they can point me towards for info? I'm mainly looking for herbs and essential oils and their properties, uses and how to use them.

TIA!

There are so many great sites out there! I love lotus body, great stuff to support mom and baby all natural and mostly organic and run by a SAHM. I also love original swiss aromatics for real and authentic essential oils. Mountain rose herbs is a great site for herbs and info. Welcome to the natural world!

I really like this resource for checking for any warnings/dangers of a particular EO & it also sometimes gives suggestions of other uses for one that I haven't thought of (so basically if I'm planning to get an EO I'll check here for any warnings AND additional uses): http://www.bestdeal.org/Merchant2/es...tialDesc.shtml

And I'll second the previous poster who recommended mountain rose herbs for information on herbs.
