Plants, animals and minerals have formed the basis of natural remedies for centuries, and many drugs in orthodox medicine are still derived from them. This book explores the diverse medicinal uses of 230 key ingredients, ranging from garlic to centipedes. A reference guide profiles each ingredient, describing its origins, its therapeutic properties and the disorders it is used to treat.
