Ethnomedicine: Ancestral Legacy and Use of Medicinal Plants is a book that explores the deep connection between humanity and medicinal plants, blending ancestral wisdom with modern scientific perspectives. Written by experts from four continents, it presents diverse healing traditions from Latin America, the Balkans, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Through case studies and cultural narratives, the book examines sacred rituals, culinary-medicinal practices, and the therapeutic potential of plants. It emphasizes the importance of preserving traditional knowledge, promoting biodiversity conservation, and fostering intercultural understanding. This work is both a valuable reference and an inspiring call to honor ethnomedicine.
