Library of Herbal Monographs
While the science behind herbal medicine continues to evolve, the ancient art of healing with plants remains a testament to the enduring connection between humans and the natural world. By deepening our understanding of these powerful botanical allies, we empower ourselves to take charge of our own health. Materia Medica is a Latin term for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing — in this case herbs. This list is a living document of herbal monographs that I update regularly. ♥
Bella Limone Homemade Italian Dressing Mix
Anyone who’s been following Redheaded Herbalist for a minute, knows I’m a big fan of creating my own spice blends and dry mixes. All too often, commercial mixes come with a hefty price tag for what you get (not to mention a list of unpronounceable ingredients and additives). This Italian dressing mix is another kitchen staple that I’ve been making for a long time. It’s a lovely blend of traditional Italian herbs with just a touch of heat and a twist of dried lemon peel. Obviously, we use it to make a quick vinaigrette for leafy or pasta salads, but it also has tons of uses outside the salad bowl.
