More Information
A number of plants that grow in our immediate environment contain valuable substances and are highly effective healing plants. The book offers a very detailed and thorough presentation of the 50 most popular wild plants that makes them easily identifiable even for beginners. With more than 400 colour photos, meticulous sketches and drawings for each plant type, as well as elaborate information about poisonous or ineffective look-alikes. Simple applications and recipes tested in naturopathic practice demonstrate how wild healing plants can become part of your medicine chest. Including explanations about active substances and their subgroups, a straightforward harvesting chart, as well as descriptions for basic preparations: decoctions, gels, lotions, macerates, medical wine, but also oil extracts, unguents, syrups, tinctures, and wet packs. A perfect guide to assemble a wild plant medicine chest, even for beginners with little plant knowledge.
