D'coda in wild carrot field

D’Coda, in a wild carrot field. Mother of the Herbal Database.

Our school has used this database for a few years, while it continued to grow. It’s become much too rich a resource to hide behind our walls so I decided to split it off into its own domain and simplify things for users who might get distracted with all the bells and whistles on our other sites.

At first I wasn’t going to add a blog, however, in the middle of the night I woke up with a startling idea…no one knows when I’ve added a new treasure. You may have already visited “rose” for example, and think you know what’s there. If I add some juicy new clinical studies after you visited, it may not occur to you to go back for another look. So why not create a blog to make sure you know about the new stuff!

I’m not sure yet how I’ll organize it, partly with some keywords in the title, partly through categories? For now, I’d suggest you subscribe to the newsletter updates. They’ll alert you to new blog entries.

Additionally, I’d love to partner with other schools of herbal medicine so their students also have access. Hence, the addition of a School Directory, for now it only has our school listed…do pass the word so we can build the Directory up.
