2. What does herb mean?
• Name for any plant that is used for
medicine, fragrance and as a
spice. In some culture used for
spiritual purposes as well.
• Herbs as condiments and
seasonings are still important in
culinary art
• The use of medicinal herbs,
however, unfortuantely has waned
since the advent of prescription and
synthetic medicines, although
plants remain a major source of
drugs.

3. The history of „herbalism”
Egypt
The most complete medical documents existing are the
Ebers Papyrus (1550 B.C.) and the Edwin Smith Papyrus
(1600 B.C.)
Commonly used herbs included: senna, honey, thyme,
juniper, frankincense, cumin, colocynth (all for digestion);
pomegranate root, henbane (for worms) as well as flax,
manna, bayberry, aloe, caraway, cedar, coriander, garlic,
wild lettuce, wheat and zizyphus-lotus.
Greece
The Medicine of Hippokrates - 257 drugs mentioned
in this work are listed and compared to modern
Pharmacognosy texts by Riddle(9). Only 27 of these are
not listed as medicinal plants today, some of which are
now considered foods!

4. The history of „herbalism” II.
Middle ages
The knowledge and awareness of health, disease & herbalism
increased dramatically. Several "schools" of medicine e.g:
Arabian school
(many works were written about medicine, health and disease,
pharmacy and herbs)
School of Salerno
(famous medical and health centre in the 11th-12th century)
Nowdays
The use of, and search for drugs and dietary supplements
derived from plants have accelerated in recent years. According
to the World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 25% of
modern drugs used e.g in the United States have been
derived from plants.

5. The „living fossil”
Ginkgo biloba is:
• Indigenous in China – but due to its
popularity it has widely spread all over the
world
• Dioecious, decidous tree
• Developed app. 270 million years ago!
• Unique species of tree with no close
living relatives
• Only subsisting species of the branch

• The leaves are unique among seed plants,
being fan-shaped with veins radiating out into
the leaf blade
• Naming: The species was initially described
by the father of taxonomy Linnaeus in 1771,
the specific epithet biloba derived from the
Latin bis 'two' and loba 'lobed', referring to
the shape of the leaves.

6. The „living fossil” II.
Did you know?
• One of these trees survived the
Atomic bombing of Hiroshima!
• The nut-like gametophytes inside the
seeds are particularly esteemed in
Asia, and are a traditional Chinese
food (they are believed to have health
benefits; some also consider them to
have aphrodisiac qualities.)
