As we seek more natural alternatives to harsh synthetic products, we are learning a new and healthy respect for the traditional wisdom our ancestors took for granted. Women are rediscovering their foremothers' "green witchcraft"--the use of flowers, leaves, berries, roots, and barks in home and garden, for hygiene and beauty, for pleasure and for health. Now, that lore may be found in this modern source book of the domestic use of herbs. Full of practical advice and fascinating historical insights, this delightful book shows you how to tap into the astonishing power of plants and herbs.
Includes recipes for a variety of remedies and personal care products, and devotes a chapter to the creative use of herbs in the kitchen for cooking and as natural cleansers and disinfectants.
Griggs' best-selling and widely-praised Green Pharmacy is considered the standard work on the history of herbal medicine.

are you a bit of a cynic when it comes to pill popping for any and every thing, or you'd rather try something natural first before using the chemical loaded product?This book has lots of recipes for using plants in your garden and spices from your pantry. Things like cinnamon, marigolds can be used to improve health. Of course, for extreme ill health get medical attention. I purchased this book years ago and still use it. Griggs is an english herbalist, so you won't find nz plantlife mentioned. But in nz we do have borage, thyme, ginger either in the garden/gardenshops or in the kitchen cupboard.
