Richly illustrated and organized with dual indexes, it serves as an elegant reference for gardeners, chefs, and enthusiasts seeking to connect with the cultural and mystical heritage of herbs. ## Description The Complete Language of Herbs is a comprehensive encyclopedia providing the meanings, powers, facts, and folklore for over 500 herbs and spices. Along with a beautiful visual depiction , each entry provides the herb or spice’s scientific and common names , characteristics , and historic meanings and powers from mythology, medieval legends, folklore, and flower poetry. Did you know that allspice can be added to herbal mixtures to attract money or luck? Or that sprinkling arrowroot at the doors of your home will keep guests’ negative energy from entering? Reaching the height of popularity during the Victorian era, floriographies ―dictionaries of symbolic flower meanings―were an amusing pastime and art to subtly communicate unspoken emotions . To complement the success of The Complete Language of Flowers, author S. Theresa Dietz has scoured historic sources and compiled an equally beautiful compendium in The Complete Language of Herbs , revealing the secrets and powers of hundreds of common and forgotten herbs and spices from around the world . Together with stunning full-color illustrations and two indexes , one for searching by common herb and spice name and the other organized by meaning , this beautiful reference is a must-have for gardeners, chefs, party planners, and food enthusiasts. Elegantly designed and beautifully illustrated, the Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia series offers comprehensive, display-worthy references on a range of intriguing topics, including birthday astrology, dream interpretation, astrological self-care practices, techniques for harnessing the power of dreams, and the stories behind signs and symbols. Review: Beautiful book - Bought for a relative who is recently getting into herbal remedies and growing her own plants. As mentioned in other reviews this is not a scientific text— but if you’re interested in the history of herb use, symbolism and beautiful illustrations, then this is for you. I can imagine this is a great gift for Wiccans and people interested in witchcraft as well due to its mentions of magic quite frequently. Review: Bad book - Not a scientific book. Fraudulent title. ## Features - Binding: hardcover - Language: english - Manufacturer: Wellfleet Press,U.S. - Brand: Wellfleet Press,U.S. - Publication date: 2022-08-09T00:00:01Z ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 120 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Language of Herbs: A Definitive and Illustrated History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ZUa4h2SLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book *by M***R on 4 January 2023* Bought for a relative who is recently getting into herbal remedies and growing her own plants. As mentioned in other reviews this is not a scientific text— but if you’re interested in the history of herb use, symbolism and beautiful illustrations, then this is for you. I can imagine this is a great gift for Wiccans and people interested in witchcraft as well due to its mentions of magic quite frequently. ### ⭐ Bad book *by T***S on 8 August 2025* Not a scientific book. Fraudulent title. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of many good guides *by C***L on 16 July 2026* I compare quite a few different authors when it comes to herbalist books. Beautiful illustrations and really cool how they have a symbol chart to mark common characteristics like toxicity, medicinal, meanings ect. I still grab it to double check some of the properties of the herbs I'm using. Straight and simple writing but wouldn't rely entirely on the illustrations to forage, although pretty they don't always include important information. Always recommend reading multiple texts or look at multiple images before eating/making cosmetics. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Complete Language of Herbs: A Definitive and Illustrated History (Volume 8) (Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia, 8) - The Complete Language of Flowers: A Definitive and Illustrated History - Pocket Edition (Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia) - The Complete Language of Trees - Pocket Edition: A Definitive and Illustrated History --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/651443346-the-complete-language-of-herbs-a-definitive-and-illustrated-history](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/651443346-the-complete-language-of-herbs-a-definitive-and-illustrated-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
