Guide to Proper Use of Medicinal Plants

While a group of pharmaceutical companies are trying to denigrate beautiful medicinal plants as 'weed-garbage', some 'alert' marketers are touting them as 'miracle, cure-all, definitive solution'. There are also people who want to create the impression that using herbs is 'too difficult'. They are all wrong!

This book was written to correct the misconceptions about medicinal plants. Nazım Tanrıkulu, who studied 'Medical and Aromatic Plants' and has been in the kitchen since his childhood, explains the truth of plants with practical formulas.

The book contains useful tips on growing and collecting plants, drying and storing, and which parts of which plants to use. It explains what you can do with medicinal plants at home, from different tea preparations to boiling syrup, from tincture to paste, from cream to ointment, from mist to lotion, from mouthwash to bath, from aromatherapy to natural dyeing, accompanied by a total of 89 recipes.

Yes, these are called 'prescriptions'. Because whether someone accepts it or not, treatment with medicinal plants is now part of modern medicine! After all, with this book, there will be a green pharmacy in every home. From now on, there will be no need to look far for Lokman Hekim.

Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medical History and Ethics, Prof. Dr. Ayten Altıntaş's comment about the book also draws attention to the same point:
"Treatment with medicinal plants is within today's medicine. It is never separate from it. The raw materials of most of the medicines offered by medicine all over the world are still natural plants. Science is of course trying to recognize this vast accumulation of nature and benefit from it. Today's conscious people are also turning to medicinal plants for a healthy life and simple diseases. "The information in this book is approved by today's science and has been tested many times. It has formulas that everyone can easily apply. This book will be an important guide that anyone who wants to know and use friendly plants will benefit from."


GUIDE FOR THE CORRECT USE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS
WHAT DID THEY SAY ABOUT?

This book is the right reference book for anyone who believes in 'medicinal plants' and wants to benefit from them. Nazım Tanrıkulu studied Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and has been engaged in this field without any break since then. Our young friend, who believes in what he does and works devotedly in this regard, is literally in the 'kitchen' of the business. He was after these plants in every period and place he worked... He worked in nature, grew these plants in gardens and improved himself in the Zeytinburnu Medicinal Plants Garden. He learned and taught theoretically as well as in the practical field with the meticulousness of an academic.

Whether it is called 'old folk medicine' or 'weed-garbage'... It can easily be said that plants are an integral part of our lives in sickness and health. At the point reached today; The plants are intended to be used not according to hearsay or information obtained from unreliable sources, but under the guidance of understandable Turkish works, as the old saying goes, "efradı cami, aghyari mani". We want these works to offer theoretical/practical solutions to our problems, not to cause any harm, and to explain all of this by experts on the subject. Actually, it's not much to ask! Only what is required is demanded... I believe that the 'Guide to the Proper Use of Medicinal Plants' was written with the intention of meeting these demands as much as possible. Then come to the 'flower shop'...
