NOTE: I lost a number of these references in 2024 when I had a technical snafoo and lost ALL Youtube work for historical herbal and the other series that I am still trying to rebuild. Hence this reference list is incomplete. Please accept my deepest apologies and I will try to amend this as I recover more.
