Wild Remedies: How to Forage Healing Foods and Craft Your Own Herbal Medicine

El libro viene dividido por estaciones y las plantas que crecen en cada una de ellas.Libro muy completo, excelente información.No debe faltar en la biblioteca

I pre ordered the book and could hardly wait until it arrived. It was well worth the wait. The photographs are beautiful and the drawings are so helpful for identification. I appreciate the way the book is laid out in seasons. You can start wherever you are, in whatever season you are in, no matter where you call home. It is so much more than just a book, it is an invitation to explore nature, to learn about wild plants and their gifts, and to create wonderful recipes for food and health. It is the perfect addition to an established herbal library or the first book for a new adventure. Thank you Rosalee and Emily.

I truly love this book! I've recently become interested in herbs, "weeds," and wildcrafting, and (since it's my way) I have therefore bought several books on the topic. Each has its virtues. But I love Wild Remedies; it is definitely my favorite to date. First off, it is absolutely beautiful! It is thoughtfully and creatively designed, formatted, and illustrated. Each "weed" addressed is given several pages, which include general information on the plant itself, then some more in depth botanical and identification information, followed by ideas for using the plant to improve one's health, and last some recipes for using the plant in food or beverages. The recipes are clear and concise, easy to follow.Additionally, the book has ideas for journaling, with thought provoking questions throughout, designed to get a person thinking more deeply and curiously about plants in general, as well as the planet at large. This is a book that stimulates change, in behaviors and attitudes, but in a way that is loving, curious, intriguing .... I hardly can think of a way this book could be better.One additional note: shortly before I bought Wild Remedies, I bought another, similar book. As with this one, I was lured by the beauty of the art. This other book is gorgeous! However, many the "wild plants" it addresses are well known and commonly used: Apple mint, black and red raspberry (two different chapters), blueberry, lemon balm, American black current and European black current as well as red current, peppermint and spearmint. Even among the lesser-known (for newbies like me), such as mallow, the author has separate pages for mallow, musk mallow, and hollyhock mallow. This book was significantly more expensive, and I'm not happy that a book that has "foraging" in the title features so many plants that are very common and widely commercialized. While I will still use and enjoy it, if I had been able to employ the "look inside the book" feature (which was not available for this book), I probably wouldn't have spent the money. Wild Remedies is much more extensive in terms of variety of plants addressed, and will ultimately get a lot more use.
