In present-day Europe, using folk medicine plants is mostly obtained from written sources, such as books on popular medicine or pharmacopeias. The situation in contemporary Estonia does not differ much. The Estonian scholars of this specific field can find information in various collections of the Estonian Folklore Archives, dating back to the middle and end of the 19th century. As such, this collection is unique in the world. The earliest part of the folklore materials are based on traditional Estonian ethnobotany, which is perhaps only slightly affected by written sources. Only a few books or newspapers were published in the local language until the 19th century. The first appeal to collect folklore on ethnobotany was made in 1877 by a well-known pharmacist, Johann Georg Dragendorff. Still, the next collection campaign initiated by Jakob Hurt in 1888 yielded already impressive results. With the popularity of using herbal cures in the twenty-first century, Estonia has several reasons and remedies due to its familiarity with nature. Many still collect berries, mushrooms, and potherbs. Herb collection, in general, is a part of the local heritage, and many private enterprises in Estonia deal with the cultivation and sale of herbs. They can be bought from local grocery stores, markets, and even pharmacies. Medical doctors can recommend herbal treatments for mild illnesses, and many remedies are still held among modern Estonians. They fit with global trends characterized by a growing strive toward the natural lifestyle also evident in health behavior and an attitude toward pharmaceutical companies as businesses who prioritize income above welfare.
