The Secret World of Herbs



Herbs are fascinating “all-rounders”: They are fragrant, tasty, and have healing properties. Since the beginning of human history, they have inspired individuals and cultures around the world, especially through their effects – in the kitchen, laboratory, or witch’s den. This five-part series undertakes a journey of discovery through 11 countries, exploring the intriguing cultural histories surrounding the use of herbs – in the Provence, the Alps, in the Balkans, Latin America and India. We meet Ayurvedic doctors, natural healers, farmers, modern herbal fairies, and cooks – captivating story-tellers, all of them equipped with a deep understanding of the world of herbs. Elaborate aerial and time-lapse footage transports us to distant regions rich in herbs. With an avid eye, each film examines the complex processes involved in the making of tinctures, oils, and natural remedies. Whether herbs be exotic or domestic, they hold numerous stories – herbs being the seasonings of human culture.

  2. And the plants are SOOTHING when placed on an open wound, etc. Aloe Vera gel on the leaf eill rid fever blisters and cold sores, forever because I was super suseptible to them. The side of my face would swell up. A co worker gave me the Aloe Vera leaf and told me topit it on the blister. HOW SOOTHING and that was basically the end of my getting blisters. Maybe one in ten years but I always have the Aloe Vera plant. Addicts using tranq break out in open wounds. The Aloe Vera placed on those wounds draws the fever out. The leaf actually gets warm!!! A friend came over and showed me and I insisted skin taping the Aloe Vera leaf with gel. A few minutes later and the plant was warm from drawing out the fever. Who knew??!
    Thank you, our Eternal Father through your Son, Jesus Christ for the magnificent creations you have given Humans to heal us 🌹✝️🌹

  4. India has had Ayurveda for centuries which relies on medicinal herbs to treat ailments and chronic diseases. Even neural surgery was done millennia before with the herbs including anaesthetic herbs. Many documents are taken away out of India during colonial era, unfortunately.
