What are some good books that describe the use of medicinal plants?i have read several books on what plants do, but they never say how to prepare them.also, if anyone knows what a “tincture” is and how to make one, that would be very helpful
Use of medicinal plants?

Medicinal Plants
Tinctures are herbal extracts that are made by letting a herb sit in a menstruum (alcohol, glycerin or apple cider vinegar) for 6 weeks before its strained and ready for use. They are more potent than infusions, and are taken in small doses, ranging from 1 – 90+ drops, depending on the herb

Sorry, this is not just about plants, but I thought I’d mention it in case you had an interest. A book called “Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet” by Ibn al Qayyim al Jawziyyah is about how cures actually come about
yeh It describes everything Prophet Muhammad used as medicine 1400 years ago, like honey, black seed, dates, incense, exercise, sleep, combinations of food, etc. I found it very beneficial. The publisher has it for a better price than amazon. Here’s the address, if you want to buy it.
