Medical Healing Plants are passed on with the premise that plants heal, but they do it slowly. They must be used with patience and perseverance. Illness comes when man breaks the order of nature, when he eats badly, drinks a lot, stays up late, etc. But like everything, plants have a limit and when the disease is very advanced, it is best to go see your family doctor.
When It Comes to Children
Most important, when it comes to children, and nothing seems to work, take the infant or child to the doctor as soon as possible. Do not think about it. The plants that that are presented here can be taken without any problem – all those that cause disorders, discomfort or that are dangerous, were removed. Each plant has a purpose and it is explained on what to do in each case. There is a special part for children. It explains what to do in case of risky diseases. I present this information with all respect and with the hope that it be useful.
