CWritten for the layman, Medicine of Quetzalcoatl focuses on the medicine practiced by the inhabitants of the Aztec Empire. Although the Aztec Empire is long gone, early explorers have preserved the Aztec knowledge. Many of the herbs used by Aztecs are still used today, and quite a few of them are the subject of scientific studies. The goal of the book is to summarize and analyze the scientific evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of these plants, and to show which of these plants could be a potential source for investigational drugs, which may lead to new, science-based treatments. "We poured our hearts and knowledge into this book. We hope our readers are as excited by the ancient medical expertise as we are and perhaps come up with new ways to treat modern diseases". Rene Daniel Medicine of Quetzalcoatl' includes a full alphabetical listing of Aztec medicinal plants, a bibliography and a full plant index.
