About this book

This practical pocket guide, published in association with the Wildlife Trusts, describes 166 plant species with medicinal qualities that you can forage or grow in the UK and Europe.

Each species account provides accurate artworks and concise descriptions outlining essential details to help you identify species in the field, as well as essential information on their medicinal uses, toxicity and any risks or side effects to consider.

Tiffany Francis-Baker's introduction includes a brief history of foraging for medicine and discusses the benefits and risks of creating herbal remedies to supplement modern medicine. She offers practical tips on collecting wild plants safely and legally and outlines how to store, preserve and prepare medicinal plants, including making balms, teas and tinctures.

Easy to use and small enough to take anywhere, this is the perfect guide for anyone interested in making their own natural remedies.
