Sobre IBD

MEADOW KEEP is a journey into the world of herbs that have nourished, cured, and delighted mankind for centuries. Did you know that the Pied Piper of Hamelin actually lured the rats with dried valerian? His music was but a decoy. Did you know that William Wallace used blue dye from the woad plant to make war paint for his men to wear into battle? Queen Elizabeth of Hungary used rosemary water in her bath every day and it kept her young and beautiful. The King of Poland, a handsome man of 54 declared his undying love for her beauty and asked for her hand in marriage and she a woman of 72. Llewelyn, Prince of Glamoran lived to be 108 years old by drinking lemon balm tea every morning. You might want to make a trip to your garden center and pick up several rosemary and lemon balm plants and many of the other plants mentioned in this collection.
