Description
For almost six thousand years, hemp has been used for obtaining fibers, as food and a consumable, but soon its multifaceted healing qualities were discovered as well. Throughout history, it has become an integral part of ancient Egyptian, Assyrian, classical, Islamic, and medieval medicine. It is still held in high regard and respect, especially in Asian healing arts. In Chinese and Tibetan medicine, its euphoric and antidepressant properties are highly valued, while in Ayurveda it is appreciated as a panacea and an aphrodisiac. Our Celtic-Germanic-Slavic ancestors also used this plant for medicinal purposes. Hildegard von Bingen utilized it just as Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, did. In modern medical and pharmacological research, ancient ethnobotanical applications of the hemp plant are now being verified, and it must be said that in most cases they are indeed proven and confirmed. This book records the history and significance of hemp in various medical systems and teachings and also provides a range of practical guides and recipes.
