Growing & Using The Healing Herbs

On the cover. "There has been something of an herbal renaissance in recent years; as people rethink their relationship with the environment, they are rediscovering nature, and modern science is beginning to acknowledge the power of herbal remedies. In this book Gaea and Shandor Weiss chronicle the current herbal renaissance and show us commonsense ways to integrate centuries of herbal wisdom into our modern lives. The book opens with a guided tour through a lush, fragrant garden of herbs--a treat for the senses. Each special plant has its place, and its use. We learn what herbal healing is, and the next several chapters discuss time-honored herbal traditions of cultures around the world that form the basis of the modern techniques of herbal healing. This provides an important introduction to the art of herbal healing and sets the basic context for its practice."
