Australian Medicinal Plants

Australia Medicinal Plants Guide

Plants have been used for Medicinal purposes since earliest recorded history all over the world. Australia is no exception, its varied flora providing the Aborigines with their medicines. Eric Lassak and Tara McCarthy's Australian Medicinal Plants covers both the Aboriginal use of native plants and how the first settlers learned from the Aborigines their medicinal values. 

There is information on the plants themselves, how they were used, what their known pharmacological constituents are, where to find them and how to prepare the remedies. Hundreds of species are covered, helpfully arranged in chapters depending on their use: for fevers, painkillers, antiseptics and digestive disorders for instance. Colour photographs of many of the species aid in their identification. 

This book contains 240 pages of information that is practical and could save your life.
