Description
A Modern Herbal (Volume 1, A-H) is a comprehensive guide to the medicinal, culinary, cosmetic, and economic properties of a wide range of plants, including herbs, grasses, fungi, shrubs, and trees. This 20th-century version of a medieval herbal combines scientific fact and folklore to provide an encyclopedic coverage of over 800 varieties. The book covers the traditional aspects of an herbal, including the medicinal properties and parts used of each plant, as well as their botanical classification. However, Mrs. Grieve has extended and enlarged this tradition, including methods of cultivation, the chemical constituents, dosages, and preparations of extracts and tinctures, and possible economic and cosmetic properties. The book also features detailed illustrations of 161 plants, from root to bud. For those interested in the history and uses of plants, A Modern Herbal is a valuable resource. It provides a wealth of information on the medicinal, culinary, and cosmetic properties of plants, as well as their cultural and economic significance.
