If Nature didn’t make it, don’t take it – Dr. SebiOver the millennia, many different alternative healing traditions emerged around the world and all of them were based on herbalism. The major herbal systems were often drastically different from what most of us know as Western herbalism and it has taken us a very long time to decipher the meaning and understand the concept of some of the ancient holistic systems such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shamanic healing, etc.
Today, we know that one of the ways to prevent a disease or recover from one, is through a diet and the alkaline diet is unarguably the healthiest diet there is. However, there is not a single alkaline diet and what made Dr. Sebi Alkaline Diet stand out, is that his methodology was based on both alkaline foods and medicinal herbs.
Specifically in this book, you’ll learn:Chapter 1: Why Electric Herbs? Proving That Alkaline Electric Herbs WorkHerbal/Drug InteractionsChapter 2: Medicinal Plants and HerbsWhat are Herbs?

13. The Shrub Identification Book: The Visual Method for the Practical Identification of Shrubs, Including Woody Vines and Ground Covers
Author: by George W. Symonds
William Morrow
English
379 pages
The Visual Method for the Practical Identification and Recognition of Shrubs (and vines and ground covers) – and an important supplement to existing botanical methods. The book is in two parts: Pictorial Keys and Master Pages. The Keys are designed for easy visual comparison of details which look alike, narrowing the identification of a shrub to one of a small group – the family or genus.
Then, in the Master Pages, the species of the shrub is determined, with similar details placed together to highlight differences within the family group, thus eliminating all other possibilities. The details of laurel blossoms on this plate are an example and are followed in the book by details of laurel fruit, leaves, and bark.
All of the 3,550 photographs were made specifically for use in this book and were taken either in the field or of fresh material carefully selected from the more than 20,000 specimens collected. Wherever possible, details such as leaves, fruit, twigs, etc., appear in actual size; otherwise, similar details are reproduced in the same scale.
