Herbal Healing
Healing Wise
Susan Weed
Susan, in WonderWorks' opinion, is one of the foremost herbalists of the past 100
years. She has made a magnificent contribution to the progressive thought related
to healing and how it actually occurs in the body. She knows, for instance, that
healing involves activities such as the stories we tell each other, and that full
healing heals our community and the planet as well as ourselves. These topics and
others are covered in her dissertations on the scientific, heroic and wise woman
traditions of healing. This book is for anyone who has or is considering taking the
journey of healing.
The book includes chapters on only seven (yes! only seven) plants, and shows what
marvelous healing can be accomplished with these. Susan has each plant speak for
itself as she takes you on a weed walk in order to teach you how to find it along
with its uses and recipes. These new-found relationships are certain to thoroughly
excite the reader. Last, but not least, the book contains Susan's exellent section
on picking and preparing your own herbs.
Susan's first book is also available: The Wise Woman Herbal for the Child Bearing
Years. Don't let the title fool you -- this book contains valuable information
for everybody, and is in constant use in our house.

Harrowsmith Illustrated Book of Herbs
Patrick Lima
This book is exquisite in its grace. Patrick Lima and his friend John Scanlon grow
herbs on the northern end of Ontario's Bruce Peninsula. Temperatures there can dip
to 40 below. The Illustrated Book of Herbs presents the material in a sensibly organized
fashion. When he talks about rosemary, the reader gets all the information they need,
from soil preparation and seeding to planting and harvesting. Lima includes such
"herbs" as peonies, sweet cicely and roses. His intuition and learning
has helped him discover the healing powers of such plants, along with the colour
and beauty they add to a northern garden. The pictures in the book are gorgeous.
