RE: Here there is a list of active constituents and examples of plants that are good for you
This kind of stuff fascinates me. When we first moved out to the boonies the first thing I did was take inventory of all the cool stuff growing wild on our property!
I haven't been brave enough to mess with the mushrooms but it's amazing how much really good stuff is just scattered around for anyone who knows what they're looking at!
Hello, thank you for stopping by. I was getting a bit discouraged because I spent hours researching and writing about this topic and only bots seemed to have noticed it. I think plants are fascinating and learn about them can also make our life better. You may have a Ferrari but if you fill the tank with ethanol instead of gasoline you won't get very far. Our body works the same way. If you eat junk food you are not going to perform at your best. Learning about what to find in some plants can help you out balancing your diet and feel more energy during the day.
I love the sites which are well researched. There are a lot of under-used sources of nourishment and health care that are overlooked in favor of vitamins and processed medicines. The processed meds (I think) are often more potent than is required and thus... dun da dun dun! Super Bugs!
Actually, they found that if you isolate a single compound from a plant it tends not to have the same effects of the whole plant itself. That's because in plants you have hundreds of chemicals and they interact with one another and they can boost each other's activity, there is so much to say about this..
Excellent point. I hadn't thought much on chemical interactions within the plants.
