Description
A fascinating exploration of nature's pharmacy and the healing power of plants, from soothing hops, chamomile and valerian, and invigorating guarana, maca and ginseng, to the infection-fighting turmeric and tea tree and the immunity-boosting turkey tail mushroom. Exploring the science of over 60 species and the original folk remedies they inspired, this is the weird and wonderful story of how humans have harnessed nature's apothecary. Contains beautiful illustrations from the Kew archive.
