Description: This book is designed to bring into perspective the massive knowledge acquired by man to retain his health by using the plants around him. Man's survival has been dependent on his innate curiousity, his desire to examine by trial and error all aspects of his environment, and to conclude which materials are remedial, which ones are harmful, and which give him the greatest nourishment.
