More plants have been introduced from China to American and European gardens than from any other part of the world.

Many of the Asian species grown as ornamentals--such as daylilies, forsythia, gardenia, peonies, crape myrtle, and mums--are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine.

The authors supply specific techniques for cultivating Chinese herbs and flowers in Western gardens, as well as for using them medicinally.

A native of this continent, it was highly valued in Native American medicine, where it had more applications than any other plant. Today, research shows clear scientific reasons for its effectiveness. Foster, a widely respected herbalist, provides both a contemporary and historical look at this important herb and its healing properties, and makes a plea for conserving and protecting it in the wild.

A portion of the author's proceeds will go to support Echinacea conservation efforts at the Ozark Beneficial Plant Project in Brixey, Missouri.]]> 5583 4.04 132 17 1991 1140555 0789008750 9780789008756 0 <![CDATA[Tyler's Honest Herbal: A Sensible Guide to the Use of Herbs and Related Remedies]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181344353m/1140555.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181344353s/1140555.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1140555.Tyler_s_Honest_Herbal_A_Sensible_Guide_to_the_Use_of_Herbs_and_Related_Remedies 3.00 1 Tyler's Honest Herbal: A Sensible Guide to the Use of Herbs and Related Remedies, providing essential botanical information as well as folkloric background of herbal remedies in a clear, accessible style.
