WhiteOak at eCrater

Welcome to my alternative healing blog.  I have been running a business of some kind for well over 25 years. Since 2008 I have had my business online at eCrater.  I sell a wide range of items but try to focus mainly on loose herbs and oils.  I have been studying herbs for a very long time and each day I can read something new which tells me the knowledge of herbal healing is never-ending. 

At different times-I will study different things, like Native American herbals, Susun Weed Wise Woman herbs and many others. When it comes to Alternative Healing Methods once again there is a wide range of study, Reiki, Crystal healing, herbal healing, healing touch, hypnosis and so much more. But some how there are always herbs involved.  

DISCLAIMER:

I believe in the therapeutic and healing properties of herbs.  I personally use several of them daily.  I have studied herbs for over 25 years and still learn something new everyday.  UNDER NO Circumstances am I prescribing or suggesting any kind of medical advice once so ever.  Everything that I list on the labels is considered to be "folklore".  ALWAYS research and ask questions about all herbs you are not familiar with.  ALWAYS talk to your medical doctor before taking any herbs because many of them can react to certain medications.
