I bought this little e-book because I grow cone flower (echinacea) in my garden. I knew there were healing properties in the plant, but I didn't know how to harvest the plants--or even what parts of the plant to use. It turns out that every part of the plant is safe! There is a different method for preparing the root than the leaves, and there is a peak time to harvest each. This valuable information was very helpful not only in the medicinal use of the plant but in the growing of it. Plus, the history of the plant is very interesting. Great book!
