Why a Materia Medica Wiki:
After discussing with many herbalists, there was a few needs brought to light:

• A strong need for collaboration
• A need to shorten the length of time this type of project would take.
• A place where anyone with access to the internet can access a Materia Medica.
• A place where Materia Medica information can be updated easily as new information becomes available.
• A place where anyone with Materia Medica knowledge can create and edit content to benefit the world.

Goals of the Materia Medica Wiki:

• To list all known non-pharmaceutical substances used medicinally whether historically or presently
• To collaborate with others to try and determine what flavours or properties certain medicinals have according to other paradigms
