The great herbal handbook is the reference work on herbs: no fewer than 120 types of herbs are described – per season – in all their facets. Author and herbalist Mieke Wesdorp-Willebrands discusses the history of knowledge about herbs in the introductory chapters. She also gives advice on creating your own herb garden and on harvesting, drying and storing herbs. The preparation of herbal tea, elixirs, tinctures and syrups is discussed in a separate chapter.
Using beautiful photos and illustrations by her husband Bob Wesdorp, the active ingredients of the herbs are explained, followed by more than thirty recipes for caring cosmetics. This complete book also contains descriptions of the herbs per season and per type, with of course extensive biological characteristics. These ‘herb walks per season’ always end with special and delicious culinary recipes, more than seventy in total.
The use of herbs fits in perfectly with a more natural lifestyle, with respect for people and the environment. IN DUTCH!
