Work Sited

We mostly used one very helpful website

http://www.liveandfeel.com/medicinalplants.html

It lists many different types of plants that are used in the medical fields. It has a very long list in alphabetical order and it can help you if you have any questions.

There are many plants used in things that you use in your everyday life that you wouldn’t even think have plants in them, so just think about how many plants are used in just one day.
