Wild Remedies

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. Instead of “weeds,” you’ll see delicious foods like Dandelion Maple Syrup Cake, Nettle Frittata, and Chickweed Pesto. You will revel in nature’s pharmacy as you make herbal oils, salves, teas, and many more powerful remedies in your own kitchen.
