Herbal remedies from the wild
Natural Health, Oct-Nov, 2001 by Amber Banks
Herbal Remedies from the Wild BY CORRINE MARTIN, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY HELEN TAYLOR COUNTRYMAN PRESS; $15
What if instead of heading to the local drugstore every time you were ill, you could walk through the woods and know what to pick to fix your ailment? Martin, a certified herbalist, explains in detail how to treat a variety of symptoms with common herbs, from sweet fern for poison ivy and dried juniper for bladder infections to willow for influenza. Using notes from her journal, she tells you how to recognize medicinal herbs, and how to prepare teas, tinctures, salves, and syrups with them. Although she frequently uses vague descriptions of where some herbs are found, such as "along the side of the road" or in "wet woods and shady meadows and along streambanks," she reminds us that the solutions to many of our health problems could be growing right in our backyards.
