Nerys shares her vast knowledge and love of herbs in this comprehensive e–book. With a lifetime’s experience of herbcraft, she guides the reader in clear and simple language.
Nerys was born in North Wales—a rugged land of song, druids and healers. The healing tradition is very strong in the mountains and valleys of Wales—recipes are handed down from generation to generation and jealously guarded, but made and given freely to all in need. This then was her heritage: her love and respect for the herbal tradition is bred in her flesh and her bones. You can begin a tradition within your own family that will enrich the lives of you, your children and generations to come. This book provides an easy way for you to learn about the medicinal aspect of herbs.
