Come and see how nature heals you. Any remedy that you can possibly imagine, you will find it in this recipe book. Just imagine if a grandmother's brain, filled with ancestor recipes and remedies, now lived in these pages. This book presents the green medicine and spiritual healing tradition that was very popular in Puerto Rico up until the 1980s.

María Benedetti wrote this recipe book motivated by the need to conserve the knowledge and the botanic resources of Puerto Rico. The author gathered the stories, recipes, and philosophies of healers, stay-at-home women, spiritualists, cosmetologists, farmers, and a midwife, so you can have all this knowledge and healing tradition in the palm of your hand. The plant's names are available in Spanish, English, and Latin.
