Publisher's Note
The Bible is full of passages describing and endorsing plants that modern practitioners of alternative medicine are rediscovering and using with their patients. This lavishly illustrated volume selects the 52 most interesting and useful plants mentioned in the Bible and, using stories and quotes from the text, demonstrates how they were utilized by the healers of ancient times. Supplementing biblical wisdom with a scientific understanding, this book shows why these plants work and how they are employed today. In Genesis, Leah used the mandrake root as an aphrodisiac: readers will learn that the atropine and scopolamine in the root made it a reliable choice. The "bitter herbs" recommended in Exodus 12 -- interpreted to include chicory, dandelion, endives, lettuce, sheep sorrel, and watercress -- offer the same benefits as the leafy greens promoted by the National Institute of Health. Four-color illustrations enhance the descriptions of each plant.
