Nature can be your Medicine.Andrew shows what to look in wild plants which can be used to heal. Filmed on the beach and in the woods of Gower in South Wales.

Many plants synthesize substances that are useful to the maintenance of health in humans and other animals. These include aromatic substances, most of which are phenols or their oxygen-substituted derivatives such as tannins. Many are secondary metabolites, of which at least 12,000 have been isolated — a number estimated to be less than 10% of the total. In many cases, these substances (particularly the alkaloids) serve as plant defense mechanisms against predation by microorganisms, insects, and herbivores. Many of the herbs and spices used by humans to season food yield useful medicinal compounds.

There are many types of Dental Implants the two most well known types are osseointegrated and fibrointegrated although the most successful and commonly used today is the osseointegrated. Dental Implants are basically an artificial tooth root replacement that is used by dental surgeons to support teeth restorations that emulate teeth or a tooth. Dental Implants commonly are made from titanium that can be easily fused into the bone. Sometimes dentures or bridges are supported by Dental Implants

I think it is best to learn the poisonous plants first, and learn them well. There are many plants which are poisonous at certain times of the year and can be eaten at other times.

After you learn the specifics, EVERYTHING ELSE is open to try!

This video is interesting but I think it is a little dangerous because there are many plants that look alike and some are useful some poisonous. If anyone is going to use plants for cleaning wounds or food he/she should make sure that knows of all the twins of these plants.
