Dedication

This book is dedicated to all those curious, genius healers who have come before us and experimented with plants. Heres to the brave souls who recognized their qualities, grew them, harvested them, distilled them, and put their oils to use for the healing of humans, animals, and the planet itself.

Im thankful for their dedication, long hours, and commitment to examine, classify, and experiment with these living species we call our friends and healers.

Oh yes, and a huge thank you to Mother Nature for thinking of all this in the first place.
