Book excerpt: The beneficial effects of plants on memory, mind and mood are now more widely understood. Classic examples include St John's wort for depression, lavender for stress and gingko for cognitive function. This book uses evidence-based scientific research to show how plants work on different parts of the brain to help you sleep, reduce stress, improve memory and simply make you feel better. It will include descriptions of medicinal plants and how they work, easy plant remedies you can make at home (sleeping balms, aromatherapy oils) and alternative plant-centred practices such as meditating on a chamomile lawn, qi gong in a wildflower meadow, or simply walking in a forest. Beautifully illustrated and designed. Botanical Brain Balms will be a treat to hold and reach out to those who want to use plants to nurture and heal themselves, their families and their friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balm in Gilead: Botanical Stories from Montserrat, explores the medicinal plant heritage on the volcanic Caribbean Island where the people have had a long tradition of using weeds and herbs not only as food and as medicine but also for spiritual wellness. The botanical varieties found on the island are rich and their uses indispensable to the island's traditional healing practices. Rooted deeply in their African heritage, these healing methods have been passed down over the generations. The devastation from the 1995 volcanic eruption rendered three quarters of the island inhabitable and with that came the invariable loss of much of its ethnobotany. The author shares the concerns of many on the island that if not documented and preserved, the peculiar relationship which the people have always had with the plants in their ecosystem, will be forever lost. This book re-introduces some of the many plants found on the island and their healing properties in the hope that this, and future generations will continue to appreciate the life sustaining properties hidden in all the foliage around them.

Book excerpt: Herbs are quite literally everywhere; it is only our ability to recognise their value that has been lost. Vicky and Kim explore the traditional uses of herbs combined with a modern and scientific understanding of a truly holistic approach so that you can use herbs to treat ailments and improve your general wellbeing. The book contains fascinating information about herbs with suggestions of what each herb can be used for. Did you know that daisies infused in oil can be used to reduce bruises? That roses can help grieving and anxiety? Or that elderflower cordial can bring down a temperature? There is also an introduction to each of the body's systems (nervous, respiratory etc.) and which herbs are best for treatments. And of course, the book is peppered with vinegars, balms, oils, tinctures, creams, lotions and syrups to create your own little herbal health kit. Vicky and Kim also encourage people to reconnect with their local environment in addition to growing herbs in their gardens or windowsills. An all-encompassing guide for the beginner, The Handmade Apothecary is filled with guidance, useful tips and tried-and-tested recipes that will inspire people to make their own remedies.
