This is a valuable reference book as well as required reading for the growing number of people who shy away from the use of chemical synthetics in food and drugs.

An authentic and comprehensive guide to medicinal plants. Ben Charles Harris' many popular books on herbs include Eat the Weeds, Better Health with Culinary Herbs and Kitchen Medicines. He is a registered pharmacist and a member of numerous pharmacognostical, natural food and botanical associations.
