Scotland’s Wild Medicine

Description

In this book you will find a practical guide to Scottish plants for food and healing, taking you through the seasons month by month, identifying myriad flora, explaining what they are good for and how they can be used. Our Highland medical herbalist Clare Holohan (above) shares her deep knowledge and provides expert advice and guidance on how to use each plant for health and healing.

Nutritionist and energy healer Lilia Sinclair explains the many ways we can reconnect physically to nature and all the benefits we can reap from simple activities that cost nothing but can mean everything when it comes to healing. From cold water immersion to meditative walks among our ancient woods, Lilia demonstrates how daily rituals and practices can set us on a more positive, healthy path that we can maintain for the rest of our lives.

Eilidh Cameron is a gifted young photographer with a passion for the Scottish landscape that shines through in the stunning array of striking images throughout this book. She has photographed in close-up every plant mentioned for easy identification, as well as capturing Scotland in all its mercurial weather moods. Her work stands as a delightful record of the country’s bounty throughout the seasons, and the magic that herbalist Clare works with nature’s raw ingredients.
