Dr. JJ Pursell, author of two best-selling books based on medicines created from herbs and flowers now brings us trusted alternative remedies based on ingredients sourced from 35 common trees from around the world, readily available in our own backyards or in herbal supply markets. These recipes (including teas, tinctures, bath soaks, syrups, salves, poultices, fomentations, and capsules) will teach readers how to manage day-to-day physical complaints such as immune system health, colds, headaches, stomach upset, and stress. Did you know that, like sauerkraut, you can pickle the seeds of American ash trees as a beneficial gut microbiome supplement and source of nutrition? That a morning tea made from banyan tree bark will balance blood sugar levels all day? That a tincture of beech leaves improves circulation? That a delicious ketchup made from hawthorn is good for the heart? That steamy spruce baths are effective for treating lower back pain as well as colds? Pursell reveals all these surprisingly simple and easy uses for medicinal preparations from the trees that surround us all, and many more. Interwoven with recipes are the author s own powerful memories and experiences with each tree species and lovely commissioned modern botanical illustrations, giving the entire collection a personal feel and beauty that makes it a perfect gift for anyone interested in herbal and alternative remedies.
Dr. JJ Pursell is a board certified naturopathic physician and licensed acupuncturist and has worked with medicinal herbs for more than 20 years. She is the former owner of Brooklyn s The Herb Shoppe and Fettle, a Portland, Oregon based apothecary. Pursell has been featured on television and in/on Gardenista, Mother Earth Living, Sunset, Country Gardens, Modern Farmer, and Publishers Weekly, and is a regular speaker at garden shows including the Northwest Flower & Garden Show in Seattle, as well as providing a variety of workshops across North America.
