OUR FIRST RE-RELEASE SOLD OUT IN DAYS! SECURE YOUR COPY NOW. DISPATCH END OF AUGUST Our most popular book is back! An essential guide and invaluable resource for anyone interested in herbal medicine, Australian flora and the indigenous Australian culture.

With the arrival of Europeans much of this knowledge was overtaken by modern drugs and techniques but today there is a revival of interest in traditional medicines.

There is information on nearly 500 individual plants, how they were used, what they're known pharmacological constituents are, where to find them and how to prepare remedies.
