DescriptionAs people moved into cities and suburbs and embraced modern medicine and industrialised food, they lost their connection to nature, in particular to the plants with which humanity coevolved. These plants are essential components of our physiologies - tangible reminders of cross-kingdom signaling - and key not only to vibrant physical health and prevention of illness, but, also, to soothing and awakening the troubled spirit. Offering examples of ancient and modern uses of wild plants in each of the 3 classes - from aromatic peppermint to bitter dandelion to tonic chocolate - Mase provides easy recipes to integrate them into meals as seasonings and as central ingredients in soups, stocks, salads and grain dishes as well as including formulas for teas, spirits and tinctures. Providing a framework for safe and effective use as well as new insights to enrich the practice of advanced herbalists, he shows how healing "wild plant deficiency syndrome" - that is, adding wild plants back into our diets - is vital not only to our health, but, also, to our spiritual development.
