New Insights - Commonplace and Undervalued Herbs
2 hours
 
Sometimes our most commonplace herbs, often growing abundantly around us, are overlooked in favor of newer, exotic, or imported herbs or preparations. But the commonplace "boring" herbs endure through millennia because they are reliable, potent, and versatile in their applications. Recent scientific research gives insights into the mechanisms of some traditional uses and adds knowledge about possible expanded applications. We will cover recent research and traditional uses for Urtica, Matricaria, Althaea, Allium sativum, Plantago, Calendula, and Hypericum.
