Didactic tours description:

Laboratory dedicated to the discovery of medicinal plants and their use, during which techniques will be illustrated to derive some herbal products.

A sector of the Mediterranean Botanical Garden is entirely dedicated to the cultivation of medicinal herbs of Cilento, in other words, those plants, both spontaneous or cultivated, which - with appropriate technique and knowledge - are used in medicine, herbal medicine, phytotherapy, as well as to create cosmetics, hygiene products, or for flavoring purposes. In our lab, an expert will show you how to make an infusion, a cream, an essential oil. An unusual and fascinating experience, which explains ancient and current procedures at the same time.
