MEDICINAL HERBS
They say that a Latin, a Greek, and an Arab founded the Medical
School of Salerno. The school was world renowned not only among
medical doctors, but the general public as well. Many people from
all over wanted to be cured there. To help those who could not go
there, they published the medical procedures for them to follow at
home.
The cures were based on the many herbs that grow in the area. To
this day, they are the basis of extremely popular and effective
natural remedies.
They include: arbutus, heather, myrtle, elder, blackberry, laurel,
dandelion, broom, hawthorn, rosemary, borage, milk thistle, oaks,
alder, olive trees, chestnut tree, carob, eucalyptus, fennel, rue,
mallow, sage, lavender, mint, various orchids, garlic, parsley,
green and red basil, celery, and many more.
