FOLK MEDICINE has been the standard throughout the world and F throughout history. Indeed, even today a majority of individuals living on the planet Earth have little or no access to physicians. It is estimated in the United States alone that at least 80 percent of ailments are treated in the "folk" domain.

From the very earliest days of civilization we have turned to plants for healing, a tradition that has survived the arrival of conventional medicine and found new strength at the end of the twentieth century. Until fairly recently, every family had a cornucopia of favourite home remedies-plants and household items that could be prepared to treat minor medical emergencies, or to prevent a common ailment becoming something much more serious. Most households had someone with a little understanding of home cures, and when knowledge fell short, or more serious illness took hold, the family physician or village healer would be called in for a consultation, and a treatment would be agreed upon. In those days we took personal responsibility for our health - we took steps to prevent illness and were more aware of our bodies and of changes in them. And when illness struck, we frequently had the personal means to remedy it. More often than not, the treatment could be found in the garden or the larder.
