In Europe, the ancient Greeks were probably the first to record knowledge of medicinal herbs in writing. Later, this knowledge, along with medicinal plants from the Mediterranean, found its way to medieval monastery gardens further north.
 Today, some of these ancient medicinal plants still have their place in pharmacies and are important ingredients in ointments, juices and tinctures.
