Joy Said:

Where can I find books about Medicinal Plants and Herbs?

We Answered:

I highly recommend going to the library and checking out stacks from there. it's a great way to get a lot of information - and then you'll also know which books are REALLY helpful, and would be handy to have as reference books on your shelves at home. It weeds out the ones that end up being difficult to use, or that you find are pretty, but not organized in a way that is helpful in the long run.

Rachel Said:

Are medicinal plants still valued by pfizer, merck, & other research-based drug companies?

We Answered:

They sure are. Most of our pharmaceuticals were originally derived from plants before they were manufactured artificially. It is not so much a matter of being "weak" as it is a matter of being standardized in strength.

If you are interested, attend a good school of pharmacy and take all the pharmacology courses you can. You might want to do graduate work in pharmacology as well.

Medicinal Plants and herbs..?

We Answered:

Well, there would literally be over 1,000 different medicinal herbs you could find in Britain... can you narrow down your request at all?
If you wanted a full list and/or an idea of what they look like, I would recommend talking to an herbalist and/or a botanist in your area and see what resources they could share with you.
Unfortunately, your request is just so broad that Yahoo Answers doesn't allow enough characters to list all of them. I hope I helped!
