The Philippines is home to more than 1,500 different kinds of medicinal herbs. However, the use of medicinal plants has been limited because of the difficulty in identifying these herbs. Thus, this book on medicinal fruits and vegetables was conceptualized to make it easier for the general public to benefit from the bounty of Mother Nature's medicine.
In each article for a fruit, vegetable, or spice, one will find the following information:
Botanical and scientific names Names in the different dialects and languages Traditional uses Research findings Food values Recommended medicinal use Botanical and agricultural characteristics Therapeutic color energy / prana
