Many are, yet many can be just as deadly as a dose of arsenic.Most everyone knows Socrates died from ingesting Hemlock. Have you heard about the Celtic chieftain who committed suicide by Yew? How about the duels between rivals who ate just half of a poison bean?From Abrus precatorius to Viscum album, Master Herbalist Deborah Martin takes us on a journey of discovery ... ninety-five herbs that, while they had or have their medicinal and magical uses, can be deadly.
Author Biography
Deborah J. "DJ" Martin is an accountant by training but has also been a bartender, dancer, disc jockey and executive director of an international business association. Her interest in plants made the study of them, both in medicinal and magical applications, a lifelong hobby. A conversation with a spirit guide one winter's evening in 2003 led her back to school and she earned her Master Herbalist diploma from the Australasian College of Healthcare Sciences in 2008. She left the frozen tundra (Minnesota) many moons ago and now lives in the north Georgia mountains with her husband, their crazy cats and numerous woodland creatures. If she's not clickety-punching numbers for clients or writing, you can probably find her in the garden, visiting her grandchildren or in her recliner with her nose stuck in a book.
