Many centuries before the advent of modern medicine, animals were able to heal themselves with natural remedies. Drawing on the observations of leading scientists from around the world and his own research, the book's author, Dutch biologist Jaap de Roode, provides astonishing examples of self-healing in animals and questions whether this astonishing behavior is learned or innate.

We'll meet chimpanzees that chew leaves to rid themselves of worms, sparrows that repel ticks with cigarette butts, and bees that line their hives with sticky propolis to protect themselves from pathogens. The author explains how studying self-healing in animals can impact human medicine, improve agriculture, and enhance the lives of pets, and explains why it's crucial for us to begin putting this knowledge into practice today.
