What if the plants growing around us still hold the secrets of generations before us? What did our ancestors know about their healing power — and how much of that knowledge have we forgotten?Before modern medicine, there was the wisdom of plants. But who taught our ancestors to use them?
For centuries, people across the Balkans and Central Europe have gathered wild plants, prepared herbal remedies and passed their knowledge from one generation to the next. Some traditions were preserved in ancient manuscripts and herbal books; others survived through stories, customs and the everyday wisdom of local communities.
