THE BEST GARDENING BOOKS OF THE YEAR - GARDENS ILLUSTRATED
'Informative and enthusiastic' i Paper PLANT-BASED MEDICINE FOR A
CALMER, HEALTHIER LIFE It's easy to turn to the pharmacy when we're
stressed, sick or feeling under the weather, but what if you turned
to your garden instead? In this accessible and easy to use manual,
horticultural expert, former Gardener's World presenter and
Guardian columnist, Alys Fowler, shows how to take control of your
health by adopting a more natural lifestyle. For thousands of
years, people who had no access to clinical medicine knew how to
boost their well-being by using the ingredients they found in
plants. Herbs are the people's medicine; often freely available and
abundant, they are ready and waiting to be plucked from around you
to soothe and heal your body and mind. With guides for how to use
and grow over 100 herbs - for example how to use fennel for
indigestion, camomile for anxiety and nettle for hayfever - you'll
soon be heading into the garden, rather than opening the medicine
cabinet. Offering a fusion of botanical, practical, cultural and
historical information, A Modern Herbal reveals how common herbs
are the simple, cleansing way to better health and happiness. 'An
important and accessible herbal for the 21st century . . . For
anyone delving into herbs for the first time or those who want to
broaden their herbal repertoire in the garden and home, this book
is much needed' Gardens Illustrated AS SEEN IN THE GUARDIAN
