National Herb Day is Approaching

September

Who would have thought that there is a National Herb Day on October 11, 2008. Well it seems like the editors of Body and Soul Magazine knew about it and wrote up a little article.

HerbDay was conceived of by five nonprofit organizations with interests in herbs and herbalism (the HerbDay Coalition), to raise public awareness about the significance of herbs in our lives and the many ways herbs can be used safely and creatively for health, beauty care, and culinary enjoyment. Greater familiarity with herbs will increase informed use of herbal products and build public support for maintaining personal choice in the use of botanicals.

I did a little more research about Herb Day and found out it started back in 2006. This is the 3rd year people have gathered in different cities to support herbs and herbal treatments.

The entire herbal community is invited to participate actively in HerbDay 2008, either by hosting an event or providing sponsorship in the form of financial support.
