Healthy Plants: Natural Remedies & the Healing Power of Medicinal Plants

Healthy Plants is Dr. George Pamplona-Roger’s practical guide to medicinal plants and natural remedies. It explains the healing properties of a wide range of plants, how to prepare and use them safely, and how they fit into a broader approach to health — written for beginners as much as for people already using herbal remedies.

What’s inside Healthy Plants

The book’s value is its caution as much as its content. Herbal writing tends toward enthusiasm; Pamplona-Roger is a physician and surgeon, and the safety guidance — dosage, preparation, interactions, when a plant is not enough — is as thorough as the description of benefits.

It is illustrated to Safeliz’s reference standard, which for a plant guide means identification photography good enough to use.

• Healing properties of a wide range of medicinal plants
• Safe preparation and use of herbal remedies
• Matching plants to conditions
• Natural approaches within a holistic view of health
• Clear illustration for identification
• Written for beginners and experienced users alike

Who this book is for

For anyone interested in natural remedies who wants a source that is careful rather than evangelical. It is used by health ministry teams and by households that want to know what a plant actually does before using it.

It is a companion to Healthy Foods and Healthy Body rather than a replacement for medical care, and it says so.
