The index of Key Medicinal Plants features 100 of the best-known medicinal plants in Latin name order. Many are commonly available and widely used in different herbal traditions around the world.  A significant proportion of these herbs have been well researched and most are excellent for home use.

A 20-year-old statistic from the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that 80% of the world’s people rely on traditional medicines and traditional systems of medicine for day-to-day health care.

Looking to nature for medicine is nothing new – we have been doing it for tens of thousands of years and although modern pharmaceutical science has come a long way from those ancient roots, nature is and will always be an important source of useful compounds and inspiration. Dismissing nature is a huge mistake as nature is the greatest problem solver and the myriad compounds produced by the immense variety of species. We share this Earth with other living species which have been honed by three billion years of trial and error. Our planet by itself is a pharmacy that provides us with medicinal substances from day one!

Most of the world's plant species remain unknown and undescribed, but an estimated 400,000 species exist.
