The Garden Healer

Description

Until recently botany and medicine were two sides of the same coin and records of plants being used to treat ailments go back thousands of years to ancient Egypt, China and India. Today's demanding pace means that the benefits of nature for healing are often forgotten. "The Garden Healer" will teach you how to use the contents of your own garden for healing. Including instructions on choosing and using botanical ingredients safely, creating your own healing space and how to make recipes to cure basic ailments, this book will help you to re-establish your connection with nature.
