This selection of unusual medicinal herbs was created with the gardener who likes to grow unusual plants in mind. Includes information on growing, which parts to use and which remedies can be made from each plant.
Most gardeners I know like to have a few plants that are a bit different. If these plants also come with a readymade story - such as that you found it growing wild on the compost heap when you moved in, or that it is used to treat such and such an ailment, so much the better.
In Unusual Medicinal Herbs you'll discover 28 unusual plants, all of which have some medicinal purpose, and often other uses as well. As usual in this series, every plant listing comes with cultivation details and information about which part of the plant is useful, what type of remedy to make and what to use it for.
Excerpt
I guess that "unusual" means different things to different people, and this isn't really that surprising - we're all unique (unless you're an identical twin), after all.
So having said that, there's not much else to say about unusual herbs, except that strictly speaking, not all of the plants listed here (or in any of the previous volumes) are herbs. Nerve root is an orchid, for example, while tea is a shrub. Bear with me, though. They both have medicinal properties, and as far as I am concerned that makes them herbs.
