Mint is a prolific, highly aromatic plant that can be used in many ways: medicinally, to ease indigestion and nausea and as a decongestant; cosmetically, to clean oily hair, freshen the breath and provide a cooling massage oil; and in the home to repel insects and other pests and provide a cool atmosphere. The Herb Library: Mint shows you how to identify the main therapeutic species and cultivars of mint, and then how to use them to make your own herbal remedies, cosmetics and scented gifts.
Each volume in The Herb Library is devoted to an individual herb every one a classic of its kind, and specially chosen for the many ways in which it can be used to heal and to beautify. The historical background to each herb, and the folklore and myths connected with it, provide a fascinating introduction, while on a thoroughly practical note, each book offers a wide range of tried-and-tested herbal remedies that are simple to make at home, as well as ideas for using the herbs in cosmetics and simple decorations.
