Sharon said:I was agreeing with Deb, too. If a plant is topically medicinal, and is not ingested, then I don't worry about it except for possible allergic reasons, but it's very important to make that distinction.


I agree here too.
I will propose we keep what we presently have as a check box for "medicinal uses" b/c that allows the reader to know of the possibility but they have to go research that themselves if they so choose to. And then ADD a checkbox for "Topical uses" or "useful as a Salve" or some such designation. That covers both parts & does not leave ATP in a liable position. Again, I will say that any member is allowed to leave a comment & doing it that way leaves ATP in the clear. Comments are just that --- comments. They are posted by the membership & are not viewed as ATP practicing medicine. Did I make myself clear???
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
