Thanks, Sharon. You're right about not having discussed medicinal plant usage in our two cultures. I've never brought it up because I've never really thought to explore that aspect of the Amana culture. I do remember being given chamomile tea as a remedy for upset tummy when I was a child. I'll have to look into medicinal plant usage in Amana further. Might even add that as a topic in my book. Thanks for bringing this up!
