An introduction to the botanical world of herbology.

Beyond our walls, there is a world of plants that bring therapeutic and medicinal value to humans and animals. Animals have naturally evolved to forage for (and avoid) certain species and, as science has improved, humans have developed a greater understanding of herbs that can heal, boost, soothe and improve the mind and body.

This relationship between people and plants has existed since the dawn of time but only now can we put real evidence behind the theories that have long been the stuff of folklore.

The Pocket Herbology is the perfect guide to discover the history of herbology and the mighty power of over 30 plants.
