About Tal
Tal's Path to Becoming an Herbalist
Tal first got interested in herbalism when one of his classmates told him that yarrow had healing properties. Then he got a book from the library about medicinal herbs and he really liked it. He then used his own money to buy an herbal encyclopedia for $40. From there, he just became really interested in herbalism. He has created a home laboratory using some of his own money.
Tal's Favorite Herbs
Tal's favorite herbs include:
• Chamomile, because it smells good
• Lemon balm, because it's antiviral. The Romans used to sprinkle it in their wine when they had fevers.
• Neem, because it is antimalarial and antifungal (though he hasn't found any to buy yet).
• Mugwort, because it helps you remember your dreams
• Myrrh, because it has anti-ulcer properties. Tal get bad canker sores in his mouth.
Tal's Foraging
Tal is always on the lookout for medicinal herbs in the wild. He goes foraging with his mom in different parts of the Northwest. They have found yarrow, pineapple weed, and arnica in the forests and mountains near their home. He's looking forward to morel hunting in the spring!

Tal works with his mother to come up with the recipes that he makes available for his customers. They are constantly experimenting to find the best products for their discerning audience.
