Medicinal Plants from Provence and Beyond - Phytotherapy - Bookstore

Authors: Nathalie Clot Havond, Claudine Luu (Preface) Publication Date: June 3, 2014 Publisher: Edisud Number of Pages: 208 This work is the result of the author's field observations, combined with various floras and inventories. Nathalie Clot Havond aimed to create as comprehensive a list as possible of the medicinal wild plants found in Provence. Among more than 150 plants or trees with medicinal properties, our author has selected around fifty, presented here in detail. Each species includes a detailed practical sheet outlining its botanical characteristics, preferred habitats, main medicinal constituents, as well as guidelines for harvesting and practical use, particularly in herbalism, phytotherapy, aromatherapy, homeopathy, gemmotherapy, not forgetting the floral elixirs of the famous Dr. Bach. This richly illustrated book is intended for a wide audience wishing to benefit from the numerous gifts of Mother Nature, in both simple and precise terms. Trained and graduated from IMDERPLAM (Mediterranean Institute for Research and Study of Medicinal Plants), Nathalie Clot Havond has since taken over its direction in partnership with one of the founders, Claudine Luu. Our author also teaches at this renowned school and participates in various organizations to offer lectures, workshops... in the Alpilles, her favored location as she hails from Saint-Remy-de-Provence, but also throughout Provence and beyond.
