An indications-based guide to plant allies for common ailments: twelve main seasonal allies and over seventy additional plants and herbs to build your seasonal apothecary
Herbal remedy suggestions for community clinics and household apothecaries
Simple tea recipes to support your energy
Rituals for solo or community practice, including divination techniques
