Grilled Zucchini
Slice vegetables on a diagonal, 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Place slices in a bowl. Add oil and salt to coat, and mix well.
Using tongs, place slices on a medium-hot grill. Flip slices when you see the grill marks. Do not over-char!
Arrange slices on a platter. Sprinkle with a dash of cayenne or rosemary and serve hot.
Many plant substances are powerful medicines. An herbalist generally utilizes the entire plant either singly or in combination with complimentary herbs as extracts, teas, or dried encapsulated preparations. When properly utilized, most botanical medicines can be applied effectively with minimal likelihood of side effects.
Many drugs commonly used in modern medicine were originally derived from medicinal plants. In these cases, an active ingredient of an herb was identified, isolated then chemically synthesized to form a drug. It is thought that the use of a single component may be responsible for some of the adverse side effects commonly experienced because of the absence of other components found in the whole plant.
