OHP Radio - Janet Pyatt - Historic Herbs

Yes, I said “Herbs.” Ever thought of that?

Well, I didn’t either until I met Janet. It soon hit me of course there where herbs. It was the medicine of the day. Very few got to go to the Doctor, there weren’t any around. Herbs played a huge role for our early settlers. They were not used only as medicine, they were used in everyday life as well such as around the house cleaning, cooking and in the field.

This was a fascinating interview that I hope you will enjoy too.

Visit Janet on her website http://pyattsherbsandmore.blogspot.com/ to learn more about her and her herbs.

One thing to add as you are listening to the interview. We recorded this one in July as well and that means that we had a great many thunder storms in the area and living life on the edge as we do we did it with charged air around us. We could not hear it at the time but it was picked up in the recording. We will have Mrs. Janet back on again later on for another segment but for this one lets throw in some nostalgia and remember those old 78’s and 45’s. Kids just ask your parents, they were the CD’s of yesteryear.

Have a great week,
Craig
