Wild & medicinal
Author: Marie-Claude Paume - Éditions Édisud - 256 pages
Plants as remedies for our little ailments
Following the success of her previous book, "Sauvages et comestibles, herbes, fleurs et petites salades", Marie-Claude now turns her attention to wild medicinal plants:
How to know and recognize them?
Where and when to pick them?
How to make the best use of them to maintain good health?
The author has chosen to present 100 plants commonly used in France. Each fact sheet provides a wealth of valuable information on how to identify useful plants, where to pick them, when to pick them and, of course, how to use them (infusions, decoctions, plant oils, plant wines, shampoos, creams, etc.).
All the plants presented here are completely non-toxic, provided that the precise dosage indicated in the recipes is respected. Each plant is illustrated with photographs for precise identification.
