Kitchen Remedies for Village Herbalists
Compiled by Jesse Wolf Hardin & Kiva Rose Hardin
From the pages of Plant Healer Quarterly
215 pages
Presenting to you another Plant Healer Quarterly compilation book, consisting of heavily illustrated pages pulled directly from that much loved journal. As usual, the following inspiring chapters are a gift to everyone with an interest in healing and a love for medicinal plants – this time focused on basic as well as advanced information and skills needed for making your own tinctures, oils and salves, hydrosols, oxymels, smoking herbs and more. Included as well are important and compelling discussions about herbal selection criteria, herbal constituents, chromatography, methods for herbal provings, and herbal formulation. You can do it.
Whether you are an accomplished herbal practitioner, or a newbie looking for more natural and less harmful ways of caring for the health of yourself and your family, with this book you have the considerations and techniques for making the medicines you desire in your kitchen or shed, right there where you are most comfortable: at home.
As you know, you can buy everything from quality crafted tinctures to questionable herbal capsules even in chain grocery stores, but the most dependably effective medicines will often be those you have made yourself. This way you can be more certain as to where the plants were sourced from and how quality and ethical they are, you can use fresh as well as dried plant matter, you can ensure the processes are done correctly, and you can orchestrate formulations specific to clients and conditions. It increases your capacity to provide care even in times of social or economic distress, and helps deepen understanding of and intimacy with the plants that can heal us.
The authors of Home Medicine Making are not only beloved Plant Healer contributors but also some of the most valued of herbalist teachers, including David Hoffman, Christa Sinadinos, Juliette Carr, Lisa Ganora, 7Song, Phyllis Light, Lori Roop, Shana Grover, Dani Otteson, Corinne Boyer, Kat Mackinnon, Catherine Skipper, Kiva Rose Hardin and more!
