Hippocrates in 340 BC, like Galen in 170 AD, were preceded by an innumerable amount of information which, at that time, was transmitted orally, and there were not many written records of it. As a result, through their discoveries and research, they forged the pillars of modern medicine, with the only desire to help their neighbor. This is the essence that we want to rescue, that of the great masters who were not contaminated with today's pharmaceutical mercantilism. We will try to resort to the Galenic and Hippocratic treaties, the teachings of Theophrastus, Pliny the Elder, Paracelsus, etc. In this manual we will try to unite both worlds. The medicine recipes from ancient wisemen, transmitted from generation to generation, plants and remedies that have been hidden in some book, or in grandmothers eager to share them, and the recent researches on chemical composition of those medicinal herbs, their contents, posology, active principles, benefits and contraindications. This is a practical manual, where not only we are going to teach you about 41 medicinal plants, (with photos so that there is no confusion), but we are also going to talk about their active principles, diseases and illnesses that can be treated with them and the different forms of preparation that each one has, not only in the different ways of activating them, infusion, maceration, tincture, mother oil, decoction, but also the different parts of them that can be used, like leaves, flowers, bark, root, stem, etc
