More and more people are seeking natural and effective antidotes to the stresses and strains of today's hectic lifestyles, and increasingly, people are turning to traditional, age-old therapies such as herbalism.

Herbalism is a gentle, accessible therapy and is very easy and safe to use at home.

This new book gives practical guidance on the preparation of herbs in teas, decoctions, infused oils & compresses. Plant profiles of the most popular and useful herbs are included, with a guide to their properties and uses, from the relaxing and calming qualities of Chamomile to the uplifting scent of Rosemary and the refreshing qualities of Peppermint. Specific remedies and recipes are recommended for treating everyday conditions and concerns: there are recipes to encourage deep, relaxing sleep, to promote a sense of calm and well-being, and to relieve headaches and muscle tension.

Highly accessible with easy-to-follow, step-by-step photographs and clear, expert instruction, Herbalism is a practical and authoritative introduction to the natural benefits of herbalism.
