      Details

      Plants have been used as medicines since the beginning of the human species, about 500,000 years ago. This means that the human species has evolved with plant medicines. There has been an intense natural selection such that people who responded to plant medicines survived and passed on their genes. We must continue to use plant medicines today. This book will teach you how.

      For each plant, the book provides:
      - A photograph and description
      - Traditional uses
      - Active constituents
      - Recommendations for use
      - References
      - For many plants detailed recipes are given

      This book was written by a Chumash Healer, Cecilia Garcia. She learned California native healing from her maternal and paternal Grandparents who were all Chumash Healers. Cecilia practiced the Chumash religion, which is integral to Chumash healing.
