About this book

Language: Catalan

This work includes the 662 medicinal plants of the Balearic Islands that have been referenced in the scientific literature. For each plant, the following information is provided: synonymy and popular names, botanical description, habitat, chemical composition, parts used, pharmacological action, therapeutic use, and the comparison in Ayurvedic, Tibetan, Chinese, Filipino, Moroccan, Mexican and homoeopathic systems. Studies on medicinal flora from the time of the Greek and Latin classics (Hippocrates, Theophrastus, Galen, Dioscorides, Pliny), Arab (Ibn Sina), and Balearic, medieval and modern medicinal flora up to the 21st century have been analyzed from Ramon Llull to Brotat et Terrers, Cursach and Arguimbau, Barceló and Combis, Bianor, Palau and Ferrer, Bonafè and Barceló, etc. The presence of these species in literature and popular culture has also been recorded – the plants of Mallorcan fables and of Ramon Llull have formed two books published separately. The popular lexicon, of great richness, includes 3,626 names and 3,027 sayings in the Catalan language that refer to the 662 medicinal plants studied. The graphic part corresponds to the photographs of the Virtual Herbarium of the Western Mediterranean of the UIB and the collection of watercolours by the artists Irene Mulet and Judit Morales.
