Beginning with a brief history of medicinal plants, this comprehensive guide goes on to provide advice and techniques for the collection, preparation, drying, and preservation of these plants. It also discusses the active principles of medicinal plants and categorizes the plants according to their effects—antitussive, antidiabetic, diuretic, laxative, and many others. The rest of the book is a beautifully illustrated guide to more than 200 medicinal and healing plants, including wormwood, which can serve to promote appetite and combat intestinal parasites; common horsetail, which can act as an anti-inflammatory and a hemostatic agent; and white willow, the bark of which can be used to ease aches and pains and reduce fevers. This is a complete reference for any reader interested in all-natural remedies for a range of common aches, illnesses, and injuries.

Los dibujos están totalmente logrados y la información que te viene de cada planta, aún siendo corta, es más que suficiente para poder consultarlo
