Hedgerow Medicine: Harvest and Make your own Herbal Remedies

Product Information

I think it’s clear - now more than ever - that we must take personal responsibility for our health and equip ourselves with the knowledge we need to flourish in this world. Today Julie is a practicing herbalist and naturopath living in Norfolk, England with her husband and son. Julie is one of the founding organisers of HerbFest, an annual gathering celebrating healing plants and herbal medicine. I definitely feel there should be more people my age (I'm in my early 20s) who should know (and be taught) more about these natural medicines.

Before you know it you ll be strolling book in hand along autumn hedgerows picking remedies that will see you through what the winter has to throw at you. The first was a vegetarian cookbook, Vegetarian Masterpieces, written with Carol Tracy and published in 1989. Just take a look at the news whenever you’re reading this and you’ll see things aren’t going in a good direction. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.We offer a variety of hands-on herbal and foraging days, ranging from two-hour walks and week-long courses to bespoke commissions. I have shared this knowledge it presents with the recipes and remedies with work colleagues who are amazed. The maximum amount that can be refunded is 40% of the course fee excluding registration and any digital goods that have been used and the Course Manager will advise about this. Julie and Matthew move indoors to describe the wealth of healing and emergency remedies that sit unused in our kitchens. Having read this book I find I walk in the countryside with new eyes and a far keener sense of observation, nibbling leaves and gathering seeds as I go.

She co-authored the vegetarian cookbook Vegetarian Masterpieces (1988, reprinted 8 times) and contributed to a weekly newspaper column on vegetarian cooking while living in the US.I was expecting just another herbal book (I have others), with basic descriptions of the plants and their properties.
