Herbal Heroines

Marloes Coenen Liëla de Jager Maria Lam

Indispensable herbal knowledge that has been passed on for years and from generation to generation is now bundled

Women throughout history have typically been anonymous bearers of healing knowledge. Although a few women did go down in the annals, such as the famous nun Hildegard van Bingen, female knowledge was mostly passed on orally and anonymously. This knowledge is in danger of being forgotten, because succeeding generations often choose paracetamol over grandma's recipe out of convenience or habit, and that is a shame!

It's time to put these wise women in the spotlight. In Herbal heroines, female knowledge carriers from different cultures share their accessible family remedies. Divided into five health themes, everything from sniffling noses, abdominal cramps, skin care and post-partum soup is covered. They are safe and time-proven recipes that anyone can use at home.

Multiple MMA world champion Marloes Coenen struggled with health problems for years during her sports career. This sparked her interest in healing with natural means. Together with co-authors Marije Boomsma, Leïla de Jager, Maria Lam and Angie Vliese, Marloes collected the life stories of various herbal heroines and documented their recipes. Resulting in this richly illustrated reference work full of beautiful and colorful portrait photos.
