Medicinal Herbs Discussion Groups

Discussion groups, forums and boards that focus on the use of medicinal herbs. I have tried to select groups that have little or no spam and are currently active.
About.com Herbs for Health Forum
Sponsored by About.com, this forum is moderated and tends to get most basic questions answered. There are a few spam posts but nothing too obnoxious.
Herbal Remedies - Yahoo Group
This Yahoo group is focused on the use of herbs for healing purposes. They do not allow ANY advertising of any kind so it is absolutely spam free. This group does produce a large volume of mail though, so I would recommend you either read the posts online or use the daily digest feature.
