ABSTRACT
The Garden of Remedies presents a novel hybrid method of gentle herbal extraction inspired by traditional Persian and Middle Eastern healing practices. Using low heat, steam, condensation, and time, this alcoholfree approach helps release water-soluble plant constituents while preserving delicate compounds. The guide also describes traditional methods of preservation, including honey, sugar syrup, and oxymel preparations.
