Herbs have always been used as medicinal plants. Neither castle, monastery nor the common people did without a herb garden. Today, more and more people are rediscovering the ancient knowledge of the beneficial effect of the garden on both body and soul.
In this book, herbalist Marie-Louise Eklöf describes how our most common garden plants can be used in the service of health. From anise to Åland root, she presents the herbs' active substances, areas of use and health-promoting functions. We will learn how the various plants are best prepared and how we can use them for home-made teas, herbal baths, oils, poultices and tinctures. For each plant, gardener Ingemar Blomqvist contributes valuable advice on how to go about growing, propagating and harvesting the herb in question yourself. In the chapter "Trädgården's own beauty box" we get ideas for how we can use what we grow for skin and beauty care. Inspiring and educational, lots of examples are given of how you can use your garden to strengthen your health.
