Buddhist Healing In Laos: Plants of the Fragrant Forest

Denise Tomecko’s Buddhist Healing in Laos records traditional plant knowledge shared by an elderly Buddhist nun. Illustrated with watercolors, the book introduces locally used herbs, teas and other plants in the context of Lao monastic life and spiritual practice.

It describes historical uses in sauna rooms, infusions, compresses, ointments and balms, alongside meditation. Choose it for an illustrated cultural and herbal reference, not as a substitute for medical advice or a guide to safely identifying and self-prescribing unfamiliar plants. ISBN 9789745240780.
