Australian Medicinal Plants: A Complete Guide to Identification and Usage by Erich V. Lassak and Tara McCarthy is a reference for anyone interested in herbal medicine, Australian flora and Aboriginal culture. It looks at how plants have long been used as medicine, with a focus on Aboriginal use of native species and how European settlers learned about their properties from Aboriginal people. Nearly 500 plants are covered, each with its traditional uses, pharmacological constituents, where it grows and how remedies were prepared. Entries are grouped by therapeutic use, such as fevers, pain relief, antiseptics and digestive complaints.
