Herbal Remedies from the Wild

Finding and Using Medicinal Herbs

Corinne Martin

Anyone interested in herbs and in learning more about how to use them to enhance health will find this book enjoyable and useful. Corinne Martin gives complete descriptions of 52 medicinal herbs common to North America, each one illustrated by a line drawing to aid in identification. Also included are instructions for making teas, tinctures, salves, and syrups, as well as notes from the author's journal on her own experiences in harvesting and using each herb.

For each species she provides:

  • Details on its appearance and where it is found

  • How to harvest and prepare it

  • Recommended dosages for specific ailments, including cautions about conditions that might preclude its use
  • "This delightful book captures the essence of herbalism . . . an excellent primer and thoroughly enjoyable reading."
    —Rosemary Gladstar, founder, the California School of Herbal Studies
