Oreganum Vulgaris Specimen

We’ve all heard about the properties of medicinal plants. In fact, we have exploited and used its benefits before agricultural civilization. It was during the Classical Antiquity period when botany emerged, thanks to the work of Theophrastus. From the earliest manuscripts to medieval herbs, all kinds of information on the identification and properties of plants were compiled. The emergence of the printing industry was a turning point in the transmission of knowledge, as the humanists depured the medieval texts and ensured that they were once again faithful to the original classics.
