November December 2020 - The Essential Herbal Magazine

This is the third digital-only issue, and we've been very gratified to have so many of our readers stick with us and try to get accustomed to the new format.  Some of you have let us know that it is just fine.  Some like it better!  And of course, some of you would like us to get back to print.  That's unlikely, I'm afraid.  Instead, we'll just try to make it so good you don't notice :-) 
The "EXTRA" that we put out every other month has been very well received.  We know that there will be times when it is something small, like a puzzle or recipe/remedy, but for the time being we've got some great content to send along.
