Why am I passionate about this?
I am an author, illustrator, herbalist, and aromatherapist with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology. I’ve spent years working with native flora and fauna from propagating endangered plants back into their natural habitats and swimming through alligator-infested waters to rescue baby manatees who’ve been abandoned. This list is a look into the wonderful works that have touched me deeply and pivoted me deeper into understanding the world we share.
Bethany's book list on non-fiction that inspire you to love earth
Why did Bethany love this book?
This book was beyond inspirational on my herbal path to understanding that medicine at everyone’s fingertips.
This book is hands-on but also is written in a thoughtful conversational style that had me feeling as if I was reading a diary left behind from an old friend full of age-old wisdom.
1 author picked The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
THE HERBAL MEDICINE-MAKER'¬?S HANDBOOK is an entertaining compilation of natural home remedies written by one of the great herbalists, James Green, author of the best-selling THE MALE HERBAL. Writing in a delightfully personal and down-home style, Green emphasizes the point that herbal medicine-making is fundamental to every culture on the planet and is accessible to everyone. So, first head into the garden and learn to harvest your own herbs, and then head into your kitchen and whip up a batch of raspberry cough syrup, or perhaps a soothing elixir to erase the daily stresses of modern life.
