Cooking, medicinal uses, colouring and smoked products (new chapter: Detox with wild plants) Its possible to use our wild plants to make everything you need - from a tasty appetiser to a dessert, from a cough syrup for children to a sleeping potion for the menopause years, and from a candle wick to ink - and a plant weather indicator or a love potion might also come in handy in certain situations! For more than 20 years, the author has been compiling and testing old and new uses alike, and she has now gathered them all together in this book. For more than 100 herbs, shrubs and trees, she also gives valuable information such as the best time for harvesting, where they can be confused with other species, and information on growth sites. She also includes some interesting facts when it comes to plant names, old customs and sayings. For advanced herbal wizards!
