Where can you find these wonder herbs? You probably have basil, bay leaves, marjoram, rosemary, sage, and thyme in your kitchen. Other herbs, such as chamomile, peppermint, red clover, and rose petals, may be growing in your garden.

And check the Yellow Pages under "Herbs." Natural food stores, too, often carry a selection of bulk herbs. For the more exotic and a wide selection of the common, try mail order. The following companies have catalogs available:
