Robyn Kirby's Herbs For Healing

Gardening & Environment Health & Medicine

Robyn Kirby’s Herbs for Healing is a beautifully illustrated 1998 paperback that distills Australia’s native and garden herbs into practical, earth-friendly remedies for young adults and grown-ups alike. Across 216 pages, Robyn Kirby pairs clear photos with gentle guidance on using plants for everyday wellness, stress relief, and minor first-aid.

Published by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, this nature-focused reference celebrates local botanical knowledge without drifting into dense medical jargon. Readers seeking a natural health book grounded in Australian conditions will find accessible tips for teas, salves, and calming rituals that respect both body and environment.

This used copy remains solid and readable: tight binding, clean smoke-free pages that show typical age-yellowing for a 1990s release, plus two pages bearing full-length creases. Light exterior scuffs hint at shelf life but never obscure the vibrant herb imagery that makes the volume so browsable.

An affordable, ready-to-use edition for herbalists, gardeners, or anyone curious about plant-based wellness, Robyn Kirby’s guide slips easily into a tote for backyard harvesting or quiet kitchen-table reading.
