Are harsh artificial medicines stripping your body of its vitality? In the western world today, more people are now addicted to "medicines" than ever before - and suffering harmful effects from these very drugs that were meant to help them. In fact, we're being encouraged to use artificial chemicals to treat almost everything... (Even our children are being medicated just for being energetic) But it wasn't always this way... Long before Europeans arrived in America, generations of Native American's learned the secrets of natural healing. Rather than focussing on treating a single disease, they used a holistic approach to maintain good health and create explosive levels of energy and vitality rarely seen today. And by using plants found in the local environment, they not only avoided the risks associated with artificial compounds, but were able to leverage the power of plants which evolved alongside our own physiology for millions of years. But these secrets were only passed down through the spoken word from one generation to the next. Making them completely inaccessible to the outsider. That is, until now... Today, herbalist Tamaya has transcribed these ancient teachings to help you unlock the benefits of 1,000s of years of health wisdom, with traditional illustrations to make following along easy.

A beautifully illustrated, informative, and engaging guide to 100 plants used for medicinal purposes. Remedies derived from plants are the world's oldest medicines. Used extensively in China, India, and many African countries, herbal medicine has become increasingly popular in the West along with other holistic and alternative therapies. Botanicum Medicinale offers a modern guide to 100 medicinal plants, featuring beautiful, full-color botanical illustrations and informative, engaging text. Each entry describes the plant's classification and habitat, traditional and current medicinal uses, and an interesting fact or two. Readers will learn, for example, that absinthe, the highly alcoholic, vividly green potable, was traditionally flavored with bitter wormwood (Artemesia absinthium); that cannabis may have been used by Queen Victoria for menstrual pain; and that willow bark contains a chemical similar to aspirin. Detailed and striking artwork depicts each plant. The entries are arranged alphabetically—from Adonis vernalis (a perennial in the buttercup family) to Vinca minor (also known as the common periwinkle). The 100 plants featured in the book all have a long history of medicinal use or are the subject of new medical research. Many treat a range of conditions, from insomnia to indigestion. Some plants are lovely enough to be in a bridal bouquet; others are considered weeds. Cross-reference features at the end of the book connect specific medical conditions and the plants used to treat them.
