An engaging, authoritative, and accessible guide to using cannabis
for wellness. Including a quick-reference chart to key cannabis
strains and their health benefits, this book is one you'll want to
keep close at hand. Considered "magic" in ancient medicinal
circles, cannabis has a true, documented history of healing. Not
only does it contain the restorative plant nutrient cannabidiol, or
CBD, which is gaining stature as an antidote for various conditions
from pain and nausea to arthritis and post-traumatic stress,
cannabis also carries some 100 other cannabinoid nutrients that
heal, including the once-banished psychoactive but powerfully
medicinal THC. Barbara Brownell Grogan and Dr. Mary Clifton, two
experts on cannabis, give newcomers the crucial knowledge they need
to begin their healing regimen safely. Because different strains
work for different people in different ways, the cannabis plant is
far from "one size fits all." Cannabis for Health discusses the
various types and potencies, and what healing benefits each offers.
It focuses on some high-profile strains--including
power-healers--how they address 30 key conditions, and how they
have served others. As this is neither a cookbook nor a dosing
book, it relies on testimonials by users and physicians to guide
people in their choices.

A book of natural wonders, practical guidance and life-changing
empowerment, by the author of the word-of-mouth bestseller If Women
Rose Rooted. 'To live an enchanted life is to pick up the pieces of
our bruised and battered psyches, and to offer them the nourishment
they long for. It is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be
gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at
the heart of the ordinary. Above all, to live an enchanted life is
to fall in love with the world all over again.' The enchanted life
has nothing to do with escapism or magical thinking: it is founded
on a vivid sense of belonging to a rich and many-layered world. It
is creative, intuitive, imaginative. It thrives on work that has
heart and meaning. It loves wild things, but returns to an
enchanted home and garden. It respects the instinctive knowledge,
ethical living and playfulness, and relishes story and art. Taking
the inspiration and wisdom that can be derived from myth, fairy
tales and folk culture, this book offers a set of practical and
grounded tools for reclaiming enchantment in our lives, giving us a
greater sense of meaning and of belonging to the world.
Over the course of writing the Last Kingdom series, Bernard Cornwell discovered an increasing fascination for the Anglo-Saxon world: its people, their culture, and their domestic lives beyond the battlefield. And so when he met renowned chef Suzanne Pollak, someone with a passion for Anglo-Saxon cookery, Uhtred’s Feast was born.
A combination of beautifully crafted recipes which incorporate Anglo-Saxon ingredients and cooking techniques, and brand new Uhtred stories by Bernard which show the iconic warrior behind the shield, Uhtred’s Feast opens a door into the ordinary Saxon home – and an extraordinary moment in our history.
