Vincent guides the reader step-by-step through the learning process for growing healing herbs, which, before the advent of the pharmaceuticals we know today, were used to treat various ailments from toothache, open wounds, the pain of childbirth, digestive problems to bronchitis for thousands of years. She describes their medicinal qualities, how to choose herbs for your particular region, the type of soil and weather conditions that promote growth, and how much water they need. She addresses pest control, harvesting, storage, and the various forms--teas, tinctures, and slaves. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
