Icelandic Herbs and Their Medicinal Uses

The medicinal powers of Icelandic herbs,
together with their history and uses, are
explained in this well-researched, comprehensive
book. For the first time in an Icelandic
publication, an extensive summary is published
of the scientific research that has been done on
Icelandic herbs, both in Iceland and elsewhere.
One is guided through the uses, harvest and
drying of Icelandic medicinal herbs and taught
how to make various preparations, such as
infusions, decoctions, tinctures and syrups. The
author, Anna Rósa Róbertsdóttir B.Sc., Dip.
Phyt, MNIMH, studied medical herbalism in
England and has worked as a consultant in her
own herbal practice for over two decades. She
has specialised in the use of Icelandic
medicinal herbs and has gained broad knowledge
and vast experience as a medical herbalist.
