Nature has provided us with a treasure of herbal remedies—secrets that offer new approaches to health and healing. The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs is a valuable resource to these herbs and their uses.
The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs details more than seventy rainforest medicinal plants, and is the result of Leslie Taylor’s years of extensive research. This book explains the medicinal properties of each herb and the natural chemicals involved, as well as instructions for preparation. The author has also included the history of use by indigenous peoples, and current uses by natural health practitioners around the world. Helpful tables provide a quick guide to choosing the botanicals most useful for a particular ailment. Illustrations of plants and recipes for herbal remedies complete this resource’s wealth of information.
