Wild Remedies: How to Forage Healing Foods and Craft Your Own Herbal Medicine
by Rosalee de la Forêt and Emily Han
What’s the herbal remedy for living a healthy, joyful, and connected life?
Every day you experience people trying to sell you miracle pills or products that claim to heal or promote health. However, the KEY ingredient that they’re missing cannot be bottled … NATURE itself! Research shows that a lack of nature connection may be causing many of our modern health problems.
Wild Remedies is your action guide to becoming deeply connected to the natural world around you.
In this inspiring book, you’ll learn how to identify and ethically gather local plants, whether you live in an urban, suburban, or rural environment. Many of the plants can even grow in your garden. Then, craft your own herbal medicine or make delicious recipes with your harvest.
Imagine combining the healing power of nature with effective remedies that you create in your own kitchen – and using this medicine to promote joy and healing in your life.
