This is a demo version of Herbage v2.0 for Windows. This demo is 
ShareWare, and may be distributed freely.

Every day, as more and more would-be native healers leave behind the 
lands of their ancestors, we lose more of the accumulated medical wisdom 
of the human species that is the result of the intimate familiarity 
native populations develop from living thousands of years in the same 
environment. Every human society throughout history has developed its 
own unique brand of herbalism - using plants for medicine. The range of 
human plant knowledge is monumental - thousands of societies using 
thousands of plants to treat thousands of diseases for thousands of 
years. Herbage v2.0 for Windows is a tool designed specifically for the 
study of worldwide historical and contemporary human/plant interaction.

Herbage is an ethnobotanical database. Of the more than 2600 plant species 
included, each entry includes one or more of the following: common names, 
medicinal action, ailments the plant is used to treat, indigenous use, 
mail-order source, range, habitat, alkaloid and nutrient content, and 
public-domain illustrations. Options include searching, selecting a 
subset (i.e., plants native to brazil, plants used to treat tachycardia), 
adding to or modifying data, or printing a fully-formatted illustrated 
herbal.
