Herbal Healing for Women

A complete women's health-care manual. It is the emphasis upon safe herbology that impressed me most about this book; for example, Gladstar very carefully distinguishes between the safe external applications of Pennyroyal herb and potentially lethal internal misuse of Pennyroyal oil.

A Letter from Rosemary

Dear Friends,

It’s been 21 years since we first began teaching and offering classes on this beautiful Mountain. I’ve lost count of how many people have traveled to this wild remote place to commune with nature, learn about herbal healing, and become more in touch with themselves through the teachings of the plants. The ‘students’ who have come have been our teachers and have gifted us in so many ways. It has been a feast for the heart and the spirits of the Mountain. Much has happened, of course, in 20 years. When we first moved here, there were no gardens or out buildings, no trails, no boardwalk to see the Ladies Slippers blooming in the early spring. But there was so much beauty and wild spirit here. It was manna for the soul.
