If you can’t get a good night of restful sleep, then you are one of the 47 million people in the U.S. Insomnia is another word for a variety of sleep disturbances. If you experience any of the following, you are part of the insomnia club:

1. You can’t get to sleep within 15 to 20 minutes
2. You get to sleep, but wake up after falling asleep
3. Sleep through the night, but not a restful sleep
4. Disturbing dreams

I just taught the first weekend of the five month Foundations of Herbalism class series.

We had a great group of people, anxious to get their hands dirty and make something. I had asked them to bring in herbs from their garden or wild area to adorn the classroom tables. Boy, was I surprised at all the wonderful herbal bouquets the students brought in. The aroma filled the room, and created such a pleasant atmosphere.
