Les Bénéfiques

In old myths, it's often told that humans had learned which medicinal plant helps against which suffering by observing animals. Indeed, many animals seem to know instinctively which herb is the best one for their health problem. In Europe, the

ancient Greeks presumably were the first ones to record the knowledge about medicinal herbs in writing. Later, together with medicinal plants from the Mediterranean in the medieval monastery gardens, this knowledge got further north. Many of these plants are also medicine and spice.
