Modern Connections to Ancient Plants

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With the growing trend towards ' organic' products and ' coming back to nature' worldwide, the rising interest in herbs and herbal remedies, in culinary use, health products, medicine, cosmetics and religious rituals is not surprising. A wide audience shares the fascination for Mother Earth' s generous bounty. Herbs have a long history and find a mention in ancient texts. Do herbal products have relevance in modern medicine, such as in the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer' s disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and so on? This book explores the historical, cultural, religious and scientific connection between the East and the West. With the author' s exposure to forestry training and research and knowledge drawn from the Bible, perhaps one of the biggest references for herbs, Holy Herbs stands at the right spot for tracing a global history of herbs from ancient to modern times
