Expanded Description:
"Lessons in natural wellness from the animal kingdom." Zoopharmacognosy, or animal self-medication is a new field in biology. It explores the range of ways animals keep themselves healthy, carefully separating scientifically verifiable fact from folklore, hard data from daydreams. As with holistic medicine, there turns out to be more fact in folklore than was previously thought. Animals eat plants that have medicinal properties. They select the right foods for a nutritionally balanced diet, often doing a better job of it than humans do. They even manipulate their own reproduction with chemistry, using some plants as aphrodisiacs and others to enhance fertility. And animals have a great deal to teach us!
