The healing powers of herbs, which often grow modestly by the wayside, are described by Maria Treben in this volume, focusing on their use for wounds and injuries. Whether it’s burns, cuts, surgical scars, or bruises – arnica, St. John's wort, marigold, and many other medicinal herbs help and heal. Maria Treben, the great pioneer of natural medicine, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday in 2007, offers advice and tips for the proper use of healing plants. Many letters of thanks testify to the actual effectiveness of the herbs.
