| Summary |
Duke's Handbook of Medicinal Plants of the Bible covers herbs that scholars speculate, based on citations, were used in Biblical times." "Listed alphabetically by scientific name, each entry provides an illustration, family line information, synonyms, notes, common names, activities, indications, dosages, downsides and interactions, natural history, and extracts. The text includes one or more quotes from various translations of the Bible, such as the King James version and Revised standard edition, along with comments on points of interest. Duke's writing style brings the information to life as much as the color illustrations included with almost every entry. Comprehensive in scope, yet detailed, this book is the perfect addition to your shelf of resources |
