Medicinal Plants
Medicinal
plants represented the source for many drugs used during the medieval period.
Harvested by herbalists, apothecaries as well as the common man, the plants
were drunk, inhaled, pressed on the flesh, and ingested to relieve all
manners of medical problems. Many were later found to have little or no
medical value while others such as foxglove and belladonna have ingredients
that are still used today.
