More than nine thousand health readings were given by Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) that included the use of numerous herbs, either alone or in specific formulas for particular ailments. Many of these herbs are growing right outside our door and in our backyards. Wild Healing Herbs focuses on some of the more common herbs that were mentioned in the readings and describes which ones can be used as food as well as their nutritional benefits, including scientific research where applicable.
