After several generations of urbanized living, those in modern industrialized countries are far removed from nature, creating a damaging imbalance and further misuse of our greatest resource. Even most of us living in rural areas no longer regularly cultivate, gather and use the helpful plants that grow all around us.
In some ancient tombs, archaeologists have discovered the remains of plants still known to herbalists for their power to treat conditions such as arthritis, which modern science has detected in the bodies they accompany. Every culture and every land has a rich history of herbal medicine. Even up to the present day, many drugs used in modern medicine come from plant-based sources. My own interest in herbal medicine grew in the 1980s when both my parents suffered from health problems. At the time, using anything other than conventional medicine was almost unheard of, and any mention of alternative medicine was met with a doubtful Does it actually work? My parents were concerned about the implications of medicines our regular doctor was suggesting, though, and decided to approach a herbalist for advice. They began taking herbal remedies routinely and the results were incredible my father was even able to avoid surgery.
I was impressed, and so drawn to the subject that I went on to study herbal medicine at the School of Phytotherapy in Kent, and joined The National Institute of Medical Herbalists.
In fact, feeling your inherent connection to the natural world will bring inestimable happiness. Second, pottering around in your kitchen laboratory is great fun. You will embark on an empowering journey of exploration as you discover herbs and concoct unique recipes for your home, health and happiness. Third, when you use the magical elixir you have made, or share it with a friend, you will feel a tremendous sense of satisfaction. In short, plants contribute to our happiness and well-being in so many different ways; their inherent usefulness isnt the only joy they bring.
Its a book for those looking to live a more natural life, to welcome the spirit and usefulness of the plant world into their lives and to connect with the natural world whether you live in a semi-rural location (as I do) or a city apartment. The 355 recipes in this book have been gathered by myself over many years as a herbalist, and include contributions from experts across the United States, Canada, the UK and Europe. They range from teas to meads, from cough syrups to face masks, from massage oils to mouth freshener. Some are very simple, requiring almost no equipment; others are complex, such as cream blending, soap making or distilling aromatic waters. My hope is that as your confidence grows, you will begin to experiment and create your own variations. The next few pages of this book are dedicated to showing you all that you need to start your plant-based preparations at home.
They include equipment that you will require, information on sourcing and storing herbs and some key techniques for preserving herbs. Plants are truly life-enhancing, and herbalism, and the love and appreciation of nature that it fosters, is for everyone. I hope this book helps to lead you on a rich journey of discovery.
