TAUGHT ME ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFUL HERBS AND WEEDS…
GRATEFULLY, TINA

Dear Susun Weed ,
I am a 42 years old woman living in Sofia, Bulgaria /Europe/. I have read your article "Fertility after 40" and I was very excited by it.

Dear Susun,
Thank you for your wise ways and glorious guidance!
I’ve been enjoying time with Violet lately. I was glad to learn from you that eating the flowers did not affect her ability to reproduce, since the true flowers came later. …

Dear Susun,
I started to read your books a few years ago after looking through field guides for years hoping to broaden my harvest of weeds. (I only knew we could eat dandelions.)
But, your books, dear lady, opened the door to quite an education and lots of fun, to say nothing of the pure pleasure I take in the reading.
We live in the woods near the Indiana Dunes and this is the third year I have harvested violet flowers and leaves (this year I intend to dry and freeze some for the winter months.) I planted chickweed seeds last spring and was thrilled to see that this spring I have chickweed growing all over the place. I found plaintain and I think we have cleavers, as well. I have to make sure. The plant that I think to be cleavers has a kind of sticky/mildly prickly texture to the leaves. And, of course, dandelions are everywhere. My family really enjoys the dandelion roots.
We eat all organic so, I really love the idea that we don't have to buy greens at this time of the year. I pick a few days supply of green weeds and store the ones we don't eat right away in a plastic rectangular container that the organic greens I bought from the store came in.
This makes me feel so much healthier and it makes me feel good to feed my family things naturally grown in the earth. And I just love the deep, deep, green flavors!
Thank you for doing all you do!
P.S. We live in a National Park Reclamation area and will have to leave our home in nine years. When my husband and I are talking about possible plans for our next home, I always tell him I want to adopt four goats. I love goats and I eat at least a quart and a half of goat yogurt each week. It's just the best tasting yogurt I've ever tasted.
Happy Blessings to you, Susun.

Hello,
I am 23 years old and just had a baby in March. I drank Nettle and RRL infusions throughout my pregnancy and had a labor that was just under 2 hours. … I feel like it made my child and I healthier and I want to continue drinking it while breastfeeding and eventually when I get pregnant again. …

I was absolutely amazed at all of the wonderful information I came across. For many years I myself have been drawn to nature and all of her glory, and in understanding how nature"works" with our own bodies. Its an endless facination for me, and I'm so very grateful to see that someone has added a website online which so much information to use! Thank you!! Look forward to seeing your newsletter in my inbox soon!
Blessed be Susun!

I was looking for info and found a matriarch!
I'm hoping to heal in more ways than one. The problem I have is money and all the healing solutions have to be bought and sold and there is no trust there ... only fear that someone wants money from me for an anecdote when I can heal myself by learning from you (and the EARTH). I have been called a wood nymph for sometime because of my fascination of naturalization. I am a student of yours now and hope you can teach me how to be free of worldly ties. I don't know where to start and can't believe that you don't charge for your knowledge and I have seen more just skimming than I have entering and exiting sites because you have to pay for the others knowledge. you are A wise woman indeed and I can already feel your heart!
Thank you!
