Herbcraft

Purchon and Clary

The ultimate herb book for today.

At a time when consumers are anxious about store-brought herbs being affected by radio-active contamination and poisonous insecticides, we can grow, dry and store our own herbs easily and safely.

Nerys Purchon, a teacher of herbal medicine and nutrition, describes comprehensively and clearly the cultivation and use of the herbs most essential for good health, nutrition and flavour.

She shows us how to make our own cosmetics and medicinal preparations, and provides delicious recipes so we can eat our way to good health.

Fifteen concise, easy-to-follow charts reflect the author’s sensible approach to our learning about every aspect of herbcraft.
