Description
This vintage book contains an encyclopaedia of medicinal plants and herbs. It describes each herb in detail, providing information relating its synonyms, habitat, features, part used for treatment, effect, etc. An Index of Medicinal Herbs and Their Uses is highly recommended for those with an interest in herbalism and alternative medicine, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: Adonis, Balm, Balmony, Barberry, Bayberry, Bistort, Bitter Root, Black Haw, Blood Root, Blue Flag, Blue Marrow, Boneset, Broom, Bryony, Buchu, Buckbean, Bugleweed, Bugloss, Burdock, Burr Marigold, Butter-bur, Calumb, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
