I'd say a different folder makes more sense for the homeopathic remedies, as they operate under the principle that "like treats like", while herbs operate under the principle that "opposite treats like". i.e. in homeopathy, extremely minute doses of poison nut may be given over time in order to treat the exact same symptom-set that high doses of poison nut would provoke (e.g. nausea, vomiting)... very similar in a way to immunization; herbology, OTOH, is just like orthodox psychiatry -- if you're having trouble sleeping, take an herb that makes you sleepy.
Anyway, I'll get right to it, Bob -- expect to see at least the beginnings of the folders up by tomorrow!
