Introduction

Medicinal plants are part of our daily life and affect the existence of every single person. In the past, plants were only used as a source of food, but their medicinal power did not remain hidden. Already many millennia ago, people realized that plants can help with various problems or the treatment of several diseases. The aim of this website is to provide general knowledge about medicinal plants, their collection and processing into drugs. An important part is the characteristics of selected types of medicinal plants. For each medicinal plant, in addition to the multilingual name, there is a description of the plant itself, the name of the drug, ingredients and use, supplemented by a list of available nutritional preparations. The descriptive text for each plant is accompanied by a photograph and a specific microscopic drawing. From the point of view of internationalization, this website also includes the international names of the drugs used.
