Stories from the Garden: The Doctrine of Signatures

from Stories from the Garden · host Dr. Allan Armitage

The common names of plants often seem to have no rhyme or reason. While some of these common names come from folklore, often with little basis in today's reality, others are the result of theological and herbal studies. There are numerous books on how plants produce great herbs and how herbs can treat various diseases. But where does this come from? Dating back to 40 AD, we can trace these ideas to the Doctrine of Signatures. Listen wherever you get your podcast or at my website:
