SELLING POINTS: .

A hugely popular topic: The combination of foraging and medicinal plants is a powerful one. Foraging remains a popular trend among nature lovers and foodies, and the popularity of medicinal herbs and natural medicine continues to grow. Herbal medicine is a regular topic in popular media outlets like Goop and Refinery29 and the subject of bestselling books from Rosemary Gladstar and JJ Pursell. .

Package beats the competition: Our book features 120 plants, hundreds of colour photographs, and step-by-step instruction for essential herbal remedies. The closest comps have half the plants, fewer photos, and no information about how to use the plant. .
