HELD BY THE LAND: A GUIDE TO INDIGENOUS PLANTS FOR WELLNESS
$32.99
Author Leigh Joseph, an ethnobotanist, member of the Squamish Nation and founder of Skwalwen Botanicals, provides a beautifully illustrated essential introduction to Indigenous plant knowledge.
Plants can be a great source of healing as well as nourishment, and the practice of growing and harvesting from trees, flowering herbs, and other plants is a powerful way to become more connected to the land. The Indigenous Peoples of North America have long traditions of using native plants as medicine as well as for food.
Early chapters will introduce you to responsible ways to identify and harvest plants in your area and teach you how to grow a deeper connection with the land you live on through plants. In the plant profiles section, common plants are introduced with illustrations and information on their characteristics, range, how to grow and/or harvest them, and how to use them topically and as food. Special features offer recipes for food and beauty products along with stories and traditions around the plants.
This beautiful, full-color guide to Indigenous plants will give you new insights into the power of everyday plants.
