– Detailed plant profiles covering origins, physical appearance, folklore, traditional uses, and modern applications.
– Everyday remedies for headaches, burns, fatigue, insomnia, menstrual pain, and dozens of other common complaints.
– Practical recipes for teas, tinctures, decoctions, salves, balms, and more.
