That's not a weed--it's herbal medicine! Learn to use wild plants and herbs for food and DIY remedies in this illustrated guide from two expert herbalists. Millions of people are interested in natural and holistic health, yet many are missing out on the key ingredient: Nature itself! Rekindle your connection with the earth as you craft your own herbal medicine with 75 delicious recipes and powerful healing remedies. Herbalists Rosalee de la Forêt and Emily Han expertly guide you through the benefits of two dozen of the most important and commonly found wild plants-many of which you can easily grow in your own garden, if foraging isn't right for you. Detailed illustrations and beautiful photography ensure that you won't make a plant- identification misstep as you learn how to tend and properly harvest the plant medicine growing right in your own neighborhood. After reading Wild Remedies, you'll never look at your backyard, a public park, or any green space in the same way again.

You will revel in nature's pharmacy as you make herbal oils, salves, teas, and many more powerful remedies in your own kitchen. Read more

    • wonderful
I love this book. Her writing is clear, covering foraging from a spiritual context as well as a practical one. Her recipes cover medicinal uses, as well as culinary forms. I learned a lot and keep coming back to this one as my understanding grows.

    • Foraging recipes
I love this book. Has good recipes for some of the common foraged plants that are easy to identify, but some require a lot of ingredients so need to plan for some time for a lot of them. I do enjoy leafing through again and again.

    • Wonderful!
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. ... show more

    • Beautiful, in so many ways!
I pre-ordered "Wild Remedies" in February. The thing I least liked about the book was waiting for it to be released, because I already have Rosalee de la Foret's "Alchemy of Herbs" and Emily Han's "Wild Drinks and Cocktails" (I highly recommend both books). When "Wild Remedies" finally was released, it proved to be so much more beautiful than I had imagined---which is saying a lot! The greatest beauties of the book are not the most readily apparent. I love the care the authors take in showing how to wildcraft. Building community is encouraged, by caring for the plants, harvesting responsibly, and forging connections with others who value the way the natural world heals the body and soul. There is plenty of obvious beauty, too, in the lavish photographs and illustrations. The book was written to include plants that are available almost everywhere (click on "Look Inside" above for the complete list). It includes how to identify the herb, how it benefits people and other animals, how and when to harvest, recipes to use the plant, and much more. Be sure to go to wildremediesbook .com (eliminate the space before the .com) to register for bonuses such as: - videos of a 4-part docuseries on wild remedies (including transcripts and an invaluable wildcrafting checklist, as well as printable recipe labels) - a "wild spring feast" menu with more recipes - The Art and Practice of Wild Tending - herb monographs on plantain, yarrow and mullein - notes on sustainability - wild remedies for colds and flu. The link to even more bonuses is given in the book, on page xiv. These include additional chapters that were edited out because the book was too long, and (my favorite) a printable journal to help you more effectively use the book. I could not more highly recommend this beautiful book! ... show more

    • Well thought out and put together, an all 'round excellent book and here's why...
I originally purchased this book as a gift for someone. As an herbalist of 40 years, I knew I didn't need another herb book for myself. It came. It's mine. Sorry Candice! It is a LOVELY book in so many ways and it doesn't matter how long you've been a herbalist, there is always something new you can learn or be refreshed about. First, the quality of the book. The spine, the paper cover and the pages are of excellent quality. None of that flimsy stuff! This is a book meant to keep for a lifetime or at least until you outgrow it and pass it on to another . The sections/chapters are broken down into a very consciously thought out format. 1. Creating Your Foundation 2. Spring 3. Early Summer, and so on with great chapters in each category on a nice array of herbals great for the beginner or intermediate herbalist. Particular plant info is broken down staring with amazing drawings and photographs to help you identify plants, then on to things like "How to Identify", "Ecological Connections", "Medicinal Properties and Energetics" and so on. Detail to proper use of grammar and language (English) are apparent, then ending each herbal profile with a couple of herbal recipes as medicine or food. This is just a taste of what is to come your way. BUY THIS BOOK. It will become a cherished addition to any herbal library. Rosalee and Emily, BRAVO and thank you! ... show more
