T.H. Pardo de Tavera's book is a practical manual on traditional Filipino medicinal plants. "It is about the Filipinos relationship to their bodies, how they view illness and their remedies. It talks about the many and diverse plants and their healing properties. Pardo de Tavera tenaciously held the view that ordinary people possess real insight into how they can cure their bodily afflictions with plants available to them in their surroundings."
