It is a well-known fact that the remedies of our ancestors were almost exclusively made from the various herbs of the local flora. Herbal collectors were held in high esteem, and their extensive knowledge in the field of natural healing enabled them to cure or halt diseases that today seem to require surgery. The folk knowledge that has unjustly faded into obscurity is to be revived with this book, as plant-based healing is a treasure that needs to be rediscovered. Last but not least, all the medicinal herbs presented in this volume, both in words and images, grow right at our doorstep, making health almost within reach. Our book, with its register of healing effects, primarily aims to focus on the sixteen most well-known plants.
