• Theme gardens, from Native American to Shakespearean

Dispersed throughout (and indexed for easy reference) are over 80 practical recipes, from New England seafood seasoning and lemon mint tea to aphid spray and moth bags to cough syrup and lozenges.

Medicinal Herbs: A Complete Guide for North American Herb Gardeners

Product Description
Most herb books cover a wealth of knowledge about a great many herbs, and as such can be a bit more like encyclopedias than easy reference guides. Written with the intention of providing complete information about a select few, this book discusses fourteen herbs. These fourteen herbs are some of those most commonly purchased and used by the average gardener/cook in this country. I’ve attempted to provide a well-rounded picture of each from its place in history, medicinal and culinary attributes, optimal growth conditions, harvesting, recipes, and projects for children and adults alike. Included in each chapter are various different hints and suggestions regarding cultivation, storage, and utilization that pertain not only to the herb being discussed, but to all herbs.

In all these years her popularity, and that of her works, never diminished. Through the advancement of alternative medicine methods, today her books experience a new and lasting relevance. In her most significant work, “Heath through God’s Pharmacy”, 31 herbal remedies and their healing powers and potential applications as teas, tinctures, pulps for infusions, baths or fresh juices, are thoroughly described.
