Wild Remedies: How to Forage Healing Foods and Craft Your Own Herbal Medicine is the 2020, lushly illustrated paperback that turns every hike, backyard, and city park into a living pharmacy. Authors Rosalee de la Forêt and Emily Han—two of the most respected clinical herbalists in North America—pack 424 pages with full-color photos, step-by-step recipes, and scientifically grounded plant profiles that teach you how to safely identify, harvest, and transform common “weeds” into delicious meals and potent remedies. From mineral-rich nettle pesto to immune-boosting elderberry syrup and stress-easing hawthorn cordial, each preparation is kitchen-tested and beginner-friendly, making this the go-to reference for young adults and seasoned foragers alike.
What sets this Hay House edition apart is its rare blend of traditional plant wisdom and modern safety standards. Every entry lists look-alike plants to avoid, sustainable harvesting quotas, dosage guidelines, and flavor-pairing tips so you can cook like a chef and heal like an herbalist without ever leaving your local ecosystem. At 232 mm tall and nearly a kilogram, the book is sturdy enough to toss in a foraging basket yet beautiful enough for the coffee table, with coated pages that wipe clean after field use. Buyers searching for a comprehensive, single-volume guide to natural medicine, wild food, and holistic self-reliance consistently rank Wild Remedies above niche field manuals because it equips you to stock your pantry, medicine cabinet, and first-aid kit from the same backyard plants most people overlook.
This particular copy arrives in very good, smoke-free condition—crisp, bright, and ready to become the most dog-eared reference on your shelf. Whether you’re prepping for camping trips, homesteading, or simply want cleaner, zero-cost wellness options, Wild Remedies delivers an actionable roadmap to better health straight from the wild.
