Herbal Knowledge from Ancient Times

This high-quality designed volume invites you on a journey through centuries of herb cultivation: from the herbal recipes of the ancient Egyptians and Romans, to the monastic medicine of the Middle Ages, and to forgotten medicinal plants from parsonage and apothecary gardens. 43 detailed plant portraits convey botanical knowledge as well as interesting facts from customs and history, and tips for cultivation in your own garden. Traditional recipes for baths, ointments, teas, liqueurs, and wine are more valuable than ever today and offer many inspirations for healthy and delicious creations from the herbal kitchen.
