The healing hidden in the plants we pull up and throw away. Alice Henkel, a botanist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, catalogs the common weeds that were long used as folk medicine, describing each plant, where it grows, and how it was prepared. Clear and authoritative, it is a doorway into the old herbal knowledge of the countryside. A quietly fascinating guide to the pharmacy growing in the ditch and the field.
