Notes:
Many herbs (whether fresh or dried) contain minute amounts of essential oils. (Minute meaning a tiny fraction of a drop.) These amounts are so small that it's safe for us to ingest. This is one of the reasons I believe in using essential oils for topical and inhalational use only -- we can get what our bodies can handle internally from the herbs.

Traditional & Common Uses: The uses in this section include traditional, cultural uses dating back hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years, current uses, and scientifically proven uses. Often the traditional uses are considered unproven. Scientific studies refer to chemical analysis, in vitro tests (i.e. in a test tube), and in vivo tests - some animal, some human.
