James A Duke's book, the Green Pharmacy has wonderful information on medicinal properties of many herbs. I just learned from his book that rosemary has anti-cataract properties (among many others), and that chamomile is an excellent anti-inflammatory herb. James A Duke was an ethnobotanist who researched plants' medicinal properties for many years for the USDA.
