A Modern Herbal~by Mrs M Grieve.The medicinal, culinary, cosmetic and economic properties, cultivation and folklore of herbs, grasses, fungi, shrubs and trees with all their modern scientific uses.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT NEW. PLEASE SELECT IF YOU WISH TO BUY A SECOND-HAND PAPERBACK COPY.~When it was published in 1931, A Modern Herbal was the first comprehensive encyclopaedia of herbs to appear since the days of Culpepper. Reissued now for the enjoyment of a new generation freshly awakened to the value of herbalism, this book retains the teaching of the older herbalists and incorporates the discoveries of modern times. It describes, in alphabetical order, over one thousand English and American plants, gives innumerable recipes, and contains the 200 delicate botanical illustrations of the original. The book, which has always stood as a classic of its kind, is rich in practical advice on the cultivation of herbs, their uses and effects, in addition to interesting and amusing anecdotes.~A Modern Herbal|1904779018|~1699~2380~browse_author, browse_title~
A Modern Herbal: Volume 1~by Mrs M Grieve. The new updated version in two volumes. This is volume one, covering herbs A - H.~
If you want to know how pleurisy root, lungwort and abscess root got their names, how poison ivy is used to treat rheumatism, or how garlic guarded against the Bubonic Plague, consult A Modern Herbal. This twentieth-cnetury version of the medieval Herbal is as rich in scientific fact and folklore as its predecessors and is equally encyclopedic in coverage. from aconite to zedoary, not an herb, grass, fungus, shrub or tree is overlooked; and strange and wonderful discoveries about even the most common of plants await the reader.

Traditionally, an herbal combined the folk beliefs and tales about plants, the medicinal properties (and parts used) of the herbs, and their botanical classification. But Mrs Grieve has extended and enlarged the tradition; her coverage of asafetida, bearberry, broom, chamomile, chickweed, dandelion, dock, elecampane, almond, eyebright, fenugreek, moss, fern, figwort, gentian, Hart's tongue, indigo, acadia, jaborandi, kava kava, lavender, pimpernel, rhubarb, squill, sage, thyme, sarsaparilla, unicorn root, valerian, woundwort, yew, etc. - more than 800 varieties in all - includes in addition motheoda of cultivation; the chemical constituents, dosages and preparations of extracts and tinctures, unknown to earlier herbalists; possible economic and cosmetic properties, and detailed illustrations, from root to bud, of 161 plants.

Of the many exceptional plants covered in the Herbal, perhaps the most fascinating are the poisonous varieties - hemlock, poison oak, aconite, etc. - whose poisons, in certain cases, serve medical purposes and whose antidotes (if known) are given in detail. And of the many unique features, perhaps the most interesting are the hundreds of recipes and instructions for making ointments, lotions, sauces, wines and fruit brandies like bilberry and carrot jam, elderberry and mint vinegar, sagina sauce, and cucumber lotion for sunburn; and the hundreds of prescriptions for tonics and liniments and bronchitis, arthritis, dropsy, juandice, nervous tension, skin disease etc. remedies.
