The Encyclopaedia of Medicinal Plants by Andrew Chevallier

If you ever had your grandmother offer to help clear up a headache by making some herbal concoction, chances are she was onto something.

The Encyclopaedia of Medicinal Plants is a detailed and comprehensive book that covers everything your granny never knew about herbs. It includes highly detailed pictures and in-depth information about medicinal plants, their uses, their native habitats and related species.

The book also explores the history of herbs, the active constituents used from the plants and a general overview of how medicinal plants work. The use of herbs according to different countries is also documented and provides insight into how cultures unexpectedly overlap.
