This bush, which grows wild throughout the sub-Saharan region, smells and tastes like \"medicine,\" thus easily making its way into people's lives and becoming the choice of everyday healing for Xhosa healer-diviners and Rastafarian herbalists. This \"natural\" remedy has recently sparked curiosity as scientists search for new molecules against a tuberculosis pandemic while hoping to recognize indigenous medicine. Laplante follows \u003cem\u003eumhlonyane\u003c\/em\u003e on its trails and trials of becoming a biopharmaceutical - from the \"open air\" to controlled environments - learning from the plant and from the people who use it with hopes in healing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Laplante\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782385541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782385547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Julie Laplante","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077312770303,"sku":"9781782385547","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a625b8b4-e607-49dd-91ce-06a2324249dc.jpg?v=1685469313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/healing-roots-julie-laplante-9781782385547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
