The Roots of Healing

• MEDICIENES IN NATURE

"It looked like the witches´ brew in Macbeth" says Joel Swerdlow of this pharmaceutical factory in Kerala, India, that makes medicines from natural ingredients. "There were huge fermentation vants vats with big sticks for stirring the mixture of roots and leaves." Outside the factory Joel stands by piles of roots used in herbal medicines. He became convinced of the benefits of botanical medicine after years of study and some personal experiences. While in india, "a whole body massage using Ayurvedic herbs left me feeling fantastic."
