The author has spent most of her life in the forest, field and kitchen, and this guidebook reflects her experience and love for the earth and all it's gifts. Packed with dozens of recipes for everything from Lavender Lemonade and Stuffed Squash Blossoms to Grandma's Magic Healing Salve and a Mugwort Dream Pillow, the author's methods for making teas, poultices, balms, tinctures and more are discussed in detail. Herbalist Susun S. Weed dares us to "delve into this book" to "emerge with catnip on their breath, mud on their knees... and a mysterious, satisfied smile".
