Title: PLANTAS MEDICINALES DE FILIPINAS
This is a practical manual on “the use that Filipinos make of their plants in the treatment of the disease.” The book talks the many and diverse plants which are a treatment to cough, wounds, diarrhea or dysentery and other common ailments. Having been conferred the medical degree at the Sorbonne in Paris, Pardo de Tavera would have the respect for western medicine, but he tenaciously held the view that ordinary people posses real insight in to how they can cure their afflictions with plants available to them in their surroundings.
