This review is from: Healing with medicinal plants of the west - cultural and scientific basis for their use second edition (Perfect Paperback)

I am personally acquainted with the author, Cecilia Garcia. She is a valued figure in the Chumash tribe. She is a true healer and is a great source of tribal history. She lives and breathes her culture and has helped so many. This publication says so much about the true resource that she is! Well done!
