"Indigenous Healing Plants" presents a comprehensive compendium of over 140 indigenous plant species, encompassing both familiar horticultural specimens and lesser-known medicinal flora. Margaret Roberts, leveraging her extensive expertise, provides detailed accounts of each plant's historical context and diverse applications, including medicinal, culinary, insect repellent, and deodorizing properties. The text is further enhanced by practical recipes and cultivation guidelines. This revised and expanded edition, building upon the 1995 publication, incorporates 15 additional medicinal plants and a new section dedicated to naturalized weeds and foraged food plants. The work is enriched by Sandy's full-color photography and Margaret's detailed line drawings, offering a visually informative experience. This publication serves as a valuable resource for individuals interested in health, horticulture, culinary arts, and homecrafting, while also providing historical and botanical insights of relevance to students in botany, homeopathy, and medicine."
