Nature's own medicinal larder is just as popular now as it was in Great Grandmother's time. but today we have the added assurance of scientific approval and complete safety.

Here is a highly authoritative and practical guide to medicinal plants and their uses. Each plant is beautifully illustrated in colour and fully described for instant recognition, with information about its habitat and the best times for collection. There is also useful advice for the cultivation of plants which are rarely found in the wild but can be grown quite easily in the garden.

Having collected or grown your health plants you can then discover how to dry and preserve them -- and how to prepare the medicinal recipes for treating almost any common ailment.

The safest, most effective remedies are still offered by nature's own healing hands.
