From book: Folk medicine reaches very far back in time. Nature opened the first drugstore. Primitive man and animals depend on preventive use of its stock of plants and herbs to avoid disease and to maintain health and vigor. Because man and the animals were constantly on the move, Nature's drugstore had branches everywhere. Wherever in the world you were sick, you would find in the fields its medicines to cure you, its material for curative herbal teas and ointments
