About this listen

 This second volume of the Medicine Surrounds Us series covers the medicinal uses of mint family herbs. It’s your all-in-one guide to identifying (color photographs), harvesting (flower, leaf, or root?), and preparing (fresh or dried?) the herbs.

But it doesn’t stop there. You’ll also learn how to make the remedies (alcohol, water, or oil extract), historic and modern usage, and dosage, as well as synergisms and cautions. For some herbs, there is copious usage and preparation information. Others are more limited in scope.

How many of these medicinal powerhouses are you already growing?

Basil salve quickly calms headaches and sore muscles

Catnip historically treated measles, scarlet fever, and smallpox; modern research shows it’s more effective than DEET

Lavender aromatherapy improves cognitive performance and reduces falls in the elderly

Lemon balm, the herb for shingles, has also been proven helpful in reducing damage due to heart attacks and strokes

Oregano, historically used for sore muscles and arthritis, is recommended for snake and spider bites as well

Peppermint has been sought after for intestinal illnesses for millennia

Rosemary benefits Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients

Sage, historically used for tuberculosis and hepatitis, works synergistically with clindamycin against MRSA infections

Spearmint is a gentler alternative to peppermint for children

Thyme is favored for respiratory issues, including asthma and bronchitis

These common herbs grow so easily in indoors, in containers, or nestled among the fruits and vegetables in the garden.

And they transform just as readily into critical medications for your family.
