Herbal Remedies for Beginners
Description
Nearly two hundred herbal recipes, written for somebody who has never made one before. Sandra Kynes builds almost everything from plants you can buy in a grocery store or grow in a pot, so there is no shopping list standing between you and the first attempt.
The organization is the useful part. Entries are cross-referenced both ways, by herb and by what people traditionally reached for it for, so you can start from the jar in your cupboard or from the question you walked in with.
You will learn how to make the basic preparations that everything else builds on: infusions and decoctions, tinctures, syrups, salves, oils and compresses, along with how to store what you make and how long it keeps. Traditional use is not medical advice, and nothing here replaces a conversation with your doctor.
Why We Carry It
It is the book that gets people over the first hurdle, which is not knowledge but nerve. Once you have made one salve the rest stops looking difficult.
Who It Is For
Anyone who wants to start making things from plants, with no herbal background at all.
