"This is such a cool book! If I could give it more stars, I would. It's all about the history of herbal and chemical medicine. You wouldn't think this would be a page turner, but it totally is! It describes the "ground breakers" in each field and why they were so important. I was amazed that the same herbs used today were used way back in history for the exact same ailments! Very cool book."
