This is a 384 paged soft-cover book.
Aiming to supplement the “Poisonous Plants of East Africa”.
Trying to answer the many puzzling questions about the traditional use of medicinally active herbs.
A unique presentation of a simply classified list of diseases for which herbal drugs are used.
Collected from herbal medicine men when they were willing to share.
A drawback arose with the numerous languages and the difficulty of understanding how people name various plants in their own dialect.
To this end there is an extensive vernacular index.
The book is arranged in a fairly simple method.
It is to be noted that many of the plants include instructions on taking care in using them.
