Throughout history, plants have played a key and vital role to our existence. Whether as a foodstuff, medicine, building material, or religious aid, the way that we re-purpose and domesticate plants has shaped a core part of the development of human culture. Hedgerows and wild-growing areas are a vital part of our countrysides and, through our codependency, have become ingrained in the myth and lore of humanity. Many of the old wives tales about plants were created to spread knowledge of their medicinal and nutritional properties, and many have become entwined with stories of local spirits, deities, and more ancient legends.
Folk Magic and Healing is, ultimately, a collection of many of these beliefs, aiming to inspire a greater appreciation of our wild plants and countrysides.
This stunningly illustrated treasury of the folklore of flora is packed with insight, lore and the revealed mysteries of everyday plants perfect for gardeners, writers, folklorists, witches and general knowledge buffs alike!

Things have changed in the last few years and countless people are crippled by stress and anxiety. The effects of stress on our health can lead to devastating long-term illnesses such as adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome. More recently, there has also been the complex condition known as long Covid, which we are steadily learning more about.
Many people feel completely burnt out but do not understand how this affects their body or what they can do about it. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine has almost nothing to offer the person who wakes up feeling exhausted and unable to cope with the smallest stress. Having helped people for more than 20 years to recover from these illnesses, Jo Dunbar passes on her knowledge and experience in this accessible book.
Her healing approach involves nutrition, herbs, exercises, meditation and lifestyle changes. It's a holistic rounded approach but we are empowered to adapt it to our own needs. Jo also doesn't reject mainstream medicine out of hand and she is well-versed in all the current developments and research.
