Although herbal medicine has been around for centuries,
in recent years our understanding of it has grown dramatically, with new
findings showing which ones are most effective and which ones are best
avoided. This new edition of Nature's Medicines combines traditional
knowledge with the latest clinical research about the healing power of
herbs. It includes an A-Z of Plants that describes more than 170 common
plants found in Australia and New Zealand, their healing properties and
how to make use of them, as well as warnings about when not to use them
and possible side effects. A second section, A-Z of Ailments, lists more
than 135 common illnesses, together with herbs that can be used to
treat them and recommended dosages. There is also advice on how to
cultivate and harvest herbs and how to prepare herbal remedies.
