Nature heals. I have been healed by trees, by herbs, and by the sea. The Earth has always provided and will continue to do so if we just listen. Plants have always transformed us. They have kept us alive, evolved cultures, and bound us to other people and places. Most importantly, they are part of us.
Plant Songs: Reflections on Herbal Medicine is part memoir, part herb book with personal stories woven with legend, history, and environmental activism and includes recipes that range from Rose Wine to Cannabis Chai.
Plant Songs is structured so that it can be read as a narrative, moving through the phases of my life, beginning with childhood—Part I: Life Lines—and ending with the present—Part IV: Wisdom Plants. You can also just read one chapter at a time, in any order.
