Heilpflanzen. Signatur und Botschaft

How did humans come to realize that medicinal plants can help us with illnesses? The foundation lies in the doctrine of signatures - plants communicate their effects to us through their shape and color, their scent, and their location. For example, the sunny yellow St. John's Wort is said to bring light to the soul - and indeed, it shows effectiveness in cases of depression.

Portraits of 30 herbs provide insight into their essence, their signature, and their healing powers, while also incorporating current research findings.
