Plant profiles, folklore, and traditional remedies

Rebecca Beyer’s guide brings nearly 100 plants, trees, and shrubs together through their histories, physical characteristics, folklore, and traditional and modern uses. Alongside the profiles, it presents recipes for preparations such as teas, tinctures, decoctions, salves, and balms, organized around everyday complaints. The book also addresses sustainable foraging, with attention to ethical harvesting and stewardship. Its combination of plant reference material, remedy recipes, and cultural traditions makes it a broad survey of folk herbalism; the remedies are presented as the book’s subject matter, not as independently verified medical guidance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in medicinal and edible herbs, plant folklore, and traditional practices.
  • Home herbalists seeking recipes for teas, tinctures, salves, and other preparations.
  • Foragers interested in ethical harvesting and plant stewardship.
