Valdemar Grešík is our leading expert on medicinal plants. In the first part of the planned three-part work 'Medicinal Plants - Their Properties, Effects, and Uses,' he has selected herbs that have a long tradition in Bohemia and Moravia and are still in use. The author deals with practical information, such as what the drug and tea from the plants look like or what the possibilities of substitution are. He points out the specifics of home storage of herbs and primarily describes the main indication areas of their use and potential risks of consumption. The book is absolutely unique not only in its lavish execution: for the first time in the history of Czech herbariums, you have the opportunity to see not only classic illustrations but also unique photographs of live and dried herbs.
