Instructions are also given for growing beneficial herbs and vegetables and for gathering wild medicinal plants.

Dr. Rehan’s Review

This is one of my all time favorite autobiographies of a healer. It is a fun and light read about a man and his love-story with plants. Anyone who reads it will realize how beautiful the world of plants is, and how intimately herbalists have to get to know their plants when they want to use them to treat people. His story is not only inspiring, but informative for those interested in knowing what using herbal medicine entails.
