Achterflaptekst:

Centuries ago, every woman was an herbal expert by necessity. The herbs and flowers in her garden supplied medicines, cosmetics, perfumes, soaps, shampoos, toilet waters, and room fresheners. Today, as we seek natural alternatives to harsh synthetic products, modern researchers are discovering that charming herbal legends often turn out to encode hard medical fact, and many old wives’ tales contain more than a grain of truth. We are rediscovering our foremothers' “green witchcraft"—the use of flowers, berries, roots, and barks for hygiene, beauty, pleasure, and health. 

Filled with practical information, this modern compendium of herbal remedies shows you how to tap into the astonishing power of plants and herbs. 

• Create your own soaps and shampoos 
• Prepare insect repellents from herbs and spices 
• Make nontoxic disinfectants for the kitchen and bathroom 
• Consult the special section on herbal remedies when family members complain of toothache, upset stomach, insomnia, or skin irritations 

"Whether you see it as folk medicine, green witchcraft, or holistic healing, Griggs’ approach to health and personal hygiene using nature’s ‘useful plants’ is one we could all benefit from.” — New Age Retailer. 

",.a household guide to be used by the entire family.” — Steven Foster, author of Herbal Emissaries. 

For more than twenty years British journalist Barbara Griggs has applied her knowledge of herbalism to the care of herself and her family. She is the author of Green Pharmacy, The Food Factor, Zest for Life, The Home Herbal, and Superfood.
