plant monograph?
As you study the properties and actions of individual herbs, you may consider
starting your own materia medica, a body of collected knowledge on plants, often
including plant monographs. The word monograph comes from the Greek word,
“monographia.” Mono [single] + grapho [to write]. In other words, a monograph is
a detailed writing of a single subject — in our case, herbs.
Start small, and introduce yourself in theory and in person to each plant as you
begin your journey with the herbs. Ask each plant to impart its wisdom, use your
senses, and simultaneously research written resources filled with information
about the specific topics covered in each monograph.
We recommend writing a monograph for each herb you encounter as you study
herbs, embedding it in your memory using both the physical act of writing about it
and the intellectual requirements of research and
critical thinking and inquiry.

Throughout this ebook, we will highlight several herbs in mini-monographs
along with recipes and links for further reading. Each of these herbs are also featured
in more detail in The Herbarium’s extensive plant database.
The Herbarium database includes some of the most beautiful and complete
monographs to date, pulling together traditional herbal wisdom, hands-on experience,
and modern scientific research to present a multifaceted description of each herb.
Along with quick facts, there is detailed information on the medicinal uses of each
plant. Multiple images and botanical prints, scientific research, and information
on botany, energetics, safety, preparations, and dosage make these monographs
wonderful tools for learning for students and curious dabblers.
