Traditional Medicinal Plants - Seed kit gift box

In Europe, the ancient Greeks were probably the first to record the knowledge of medicinal herbs in writing. Later, this knowledge, together with medicinal plants from the Mediterranean area, found its way further north into the medieval monastery garden.
Today, some of these ancient medicinal plants still have their place in pharmacies and are important ingredients in ointments, juices and tinctures.

This seed set contains 5 traditional medicinal herbs of European folk medicine:

• Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
  An all-round talent among the old, traditional medicinal plants. Camomile blossom tea should always be available in any cupboard.
