The first book to demonstrate how plants originally considered
harmful to the environment actually restore Earth's ecosystems and
possess powerful healing properties
- Explains how invasive plants enhance biodiversity, purify
ecosystems, and revitalize the land
- Provides a detailed look at the healing properties of 25 of the
most common invasive plants
Most of the invasive plant species under attack for disruption of
local ecosystems in the United States are from Asia, where they
play an important role in traditional healing. In opposition to the
loud chorus of those clamoring for the eradication of all these
plants that, to the casual observer, appear to be a threat to
native flora, Timothy Scott shows how these opportunistic plants
are restoring health to Earth's ecosystems. Far less a threat to
the environment than the cocktails of toxic pesticides used to
control them, these invasive plants perform an essential ecological
function that serves to heal both the land on which they grow and
the human beings who live upon it. These plants remove toxic
residues in the soil, providing detoxification properties that can
help heal individuals.
"Invasive Plant Medicine" demonstrates how these "invasives"
restore natural balance and biodiversity to the environment and
examines the powerful healing properties offered by 25 of the most
common invasive plants growing in North America and Europe. Each
plant examined includes a detailed description of its physiological
actions and uses in traditional healing practices; tips on
harvesting, preparation, and dosage; contraindications; and any
possible side effects. This is the first book to explore invasive
plants not only for their profound medical benefits but also with a
deep ecological perspective that reveals how plant intelligence
allows them to flourish wherever they grow.
