Beginning at age sixteen, he yearned to learn from the earth which brings forth every herb of the field. Taking knowledge gathered and harvested from personal research, study and practice of his own, as well as that of others for thousands of years, Jeffrey D. Mason M.H. and C.Ht. has combined his four passions, medicine, natural healing, herbs and poetry to present an herbal filled with scientific details and folklore. Combining these passions together brought forth The Vine Rhyme Herbal to full bloom. The intent is to offer the reader the science of medicine while retaining the folkloric uses of nature's bounty. Jeffrey wrote The Herbal Codex and has written numerous articles for magazines on a wide-range of subject matters but is most pleased with those published by Unlimited Human. He conducts nature walks for the purpose of identifying herbs in the wild. He is a guest speaker and teacher on the subjects of herbs and hypnotherapy. Jeff lives in Boise, Idaho with his wife Shana and is the father of eight children and one grandchild.
