Backyard Herbal Apothecary

The Backyard Herbal Apothecary is a guide to see the natural landscape through the eyes of an herbalists.  It is my ode to mother nature and symbol of my respect for all the wise women, medicine men, ardent academics, and community healers that have come before me.  And most of all it is dedicated to those that want to peel back the layers and understand medicinal herbs just a little bit better. With my book you will learn how to:

• ethically and safely forage and wildcraft in your surrounding area
• preserve and extract the medicinal constituents of your harvest
• identify, grow and harvest 50 common, often overlooked, medicinal herbs from your landscape
• safely use each herb through the information contained in each herbal profile
• craft safe and effective home remedies for you and your family like salves, syrups, tinctures and infusions
