What's the story behid the pic:
I'm allergic to most kinds of antibiotics, so my wonderful doctor tries to use herbs instead whenever possible (thanks, doc!). Right now I have to take two herbs separately (here they are in the picture) three times a day and one herbal mix first thing in the morning. They do help, but the taste is horrible and my kitchen looks and smells funny   I decided to learn more about the stuff I have to drink (yep, I walk around all day with two different thermos flasks). So I've looked them up on the Internet and here's the result of my little research.

When I was at the university, I was studying Botany for full two years there - and I can't remember a thing! I know we had all that herbal stuff (at least the more common kinds), and I had to learn all the names in Latin, and the uses and properties of each herb, and where they grow and how they're related to each other... I remember that huge notebook I had on the subject,  but not a word of what was written inside! I think it's a good chance for me to revise something long forgotten, and also to learn some new words in English
