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 thisaccessible and easy to usemanual, horticultural expert, former Gardener's World presenter andGuardiancolumnist, 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 forhow 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 arethe 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
