The world of herbs and herbalism can feel huge and overwhelming.

There is simply just so very much information out there and so many herbs to try and learn.

Just getting started in a confident way is intimidating. There are so many preparations to try and warnings about interactions and goodness no one wants to make anyone sick or cause harm. 

And yet the draw to using herbs instead of chemicals is a strong pull and part of an overall homemade life that is important.

I felt the very same way when I first started exploring herbalism more than 15 years ago. The desire to more effectively use the plants growing around me was deep and strong. That desire naturally evolved from a love of gardening and wanting to better understand plants. 

As I delved into the world of herbs, I learned that we often have what we need most often right around us. That herbalism doesn't have to be exotic or hard to stand clinical studies - at least not for those of us just wanting to take better care of our bodies in a simple way at home.

And that is exactly who A Year of Seasonal Herbs is for:

people wanting to take better care of their bodies in a simple way at home.
