Toxic


Here is a list of poisonous plants. It must be understood that different parts of plants may not be poisonous, but one must be careful and study well. There is a herbal medicine book one can buy called Herbally Yours by Penny C. Royall that is helpful for knowing which parts to use safely. Below is a list of toxic plants that was printed in a hospital newspaper that was sent to me.
