- A Modern Herbal
A
modern (?) herbal written by Mrs. M. Grieve, first published in 1931.
Covering medicinal, culinary, cosmetic and economic properties, cultivation
tips and my favourite bit - the folklore of herbs. You are warned
to bear in mind that particularly with the medicinal herbs what was
considered cutting edge in the early 1900's might not be medically
sound today. However, with that in mind enjoy searching the 800 varieties
of herbs and plants, recipes and index of poisonous plants. In Botanical.com
you can ask Dr. Weil for bang up to date advice, read articles such
as "Prozac, move over" - discussing the anti-depression qualities
of St. John's Wort, learn "How to make Incense" and find out about
"Garlic - the great protector."
