Practical Plant Wisdom

“Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”
—Hippocrates

The book also equips readers with easy-to-follow recipes using medicinal plants for
day-to-day health care. Want to try?
- Make a Tulsi-honey syrup for sore throats
- Apply a turmeric-chickpea face mask for glowing skin
- Brew a mint-coriander detox tea after a heavy meal
These are not only natural alternatives but also an invitation to slow down, observe, and appreciate
the healing power of nature.

A Call for Conservation

The final chapters are a powerful call to action. As medicinal plants face extinction due to over-
harvesting and habitat loss, the author emphasizes community gardens, home herbal kits, and
eco-conscious choices. Growing even a single medicinal plant in our homes can be a small yet
meaningful step toward healing the planet and ourselves.
