About this product

Product Information

Britain?s hedgerows abound with forgotten remedies for countless health problems. Julie Bruton-Seal, practising medical herbalist, together with her co-author, the editor and writer Matthew Seal, have responded to the growing interest in natural medicine by aiming this book at the amateur who wants to improve his or her health in the same way that mankind has done for centuries around the world: by using local wild plants and herbs. There are clear instructions about which plants to harvest, when, and over 120 recipes showing how to make them into teas, vinegars, oils, creams, pillows, poultices or alcohol-based tinctures. Julie and Matthew explain which ailments can be treated, and what benefits can be expected. As well as being packed with practical information on using 50 native plants, Hedgerow Medicine also gives a fascinating insight into the literary, historic and worldwide application of these herbal remedies.

  • Wonderful book

    I love this book. It’s informative and easy to use. The everyday, humble garden weeds are put to good use and are welcome to stay in my garden. The dandelion and plantain have been put to good use, with great affect. All from this beautiful book.

  • Better than others

    I was expecting just another herbal book (I have others), with basic descriptions of the plants and their properties.. nope! I was delighted to find that each plant, and there are 50 of them in this book, merited several pages to itself! Beautiful photos and drawings abound, and I can see this is going to be a well loved book, thank you, I'm very happy and will recommend it to friends and family alike. :)
