The Green Witch Herbal

The Green Witch Herbal by Barbara Griggs Inner Traditions  As we seek more natural alternatives to harsh synthetic products, we are learning a new and healthy respect for the traditional wisdom our ancestors took for granted. Women are rediscovering their foremothers' "green witchcraft"--the use of flowers, leaves, berries, roots, and barks in home and garden, for hygiene and beauty, for pleasure and for health. Now, Barbara Griggs, author of the best-selling Green Pharmacy, brings that lore together in this modern source book of the domestic use of herbs. Full of practical advice and fascinating historical insights, The Green Witch Herbal shows you how to tap into the astonishing power of plants and herbs. Includes recipes for a variety of remedies and personal care products, and devotes a chapter to the creative use of herbs in the kitchen for cooking and as natural cleansers and disinfectants.
