First Sentence

"The healing properties of plants have not changed."

Work Description

The Healing Herbs is meant to increase your knowledge of the latest developments in the use of plants for medicinal purposes. Because everyone is different, a physician must diagnose conditions and supervise the use of healing herbs to treat individual health problems. Herbs and other natural remedies are not substitutes for professional medical care. We urge you to seek out the best medical resources available to help you make informed decisions.
