Synopsis

Healing plants can be found almost anywhere in the natural world; by the wayside, in damp meadows, in your own garden. But how do you gather and recognize the produce of the herbs, shrubs, and trees? How do you avoid confusing them with poisonous species? What parts of the plants--leaves, flowers, roots, fruits or bark--are gathered and how do you use them?

In this book, you will find more than 400 medicinal plants, all described in detail and accompanied by informative photographs. Thanks to easy-to-read tables, you can see at a glance what herbs can be used to treat which illnesses. Discover the wealth of plants and the many and varied therapies that Nature has to offer.
