The magic power of plants by Arnaud SPANI

Since they cannot escape, plants know how to produce bio-active molecules to protect themselves from predators or extreme weather conditions. That's what makes them medicines... or poisons, it's all a question of dose. This unique characteristic has been known since the first humans, such as primates, birds and even insects. According to the World Health Organization, more than 80% of the world's population still uses plants to treat themselves, especially in India and Asia, where a large part of the ancient pharmacopoeia is still in use. Ruscus, serenoa, blueberry, myrtle, pfaffia, helichrysum: a trip around the world with medicinal plants.
