Grant yourself a moment of peace and you will understand how foolishly you have scurried around.

I’m sure I can manage more than just a moment…..

I had a birthday last month and have taken advantage of it to swell my herbal bookshelf! It's been a long time since I bought any new herb books, mainly because I have lots that I still haven't got round to reading from the time before I had small children. I've only had a flick through these so far so I can't give a detailed review but one thing I like about all these books is that they are suitable for the absolute beginner but also contain interesting information for more experienced herbalists. 🌿 From top to bottom we have 'Wild Medicine- Summer' by Ali English of @ravenwortwyfe This is a lovely pocket sized guide to the herbs of summer. One of the things I love about it is that is has some lesser known plants such as cornflower, which is something I've never worked with before.🌿 Then there is 'The Illustrated Herbiary' by Maia Toll @maiatoll which is full of rituals, reflections and some lovely herb oracle cards.🌿 Next is the Seed Sisters' 'The Sensory Herbal Handbook' @sensorysolutionsherbal which is a guide to using your senses to connect with the plants around you. It has lovely illustrations and lots of info, exercises, recipes and ideas.🌿 Finally 'The Herbal Remedy Handbook' by Kim and Vicky of @handmade_apothecary This is a wonderful guide to remedies and recipes that you can make at home to benefit a wide variety of ailments and it has great photos. 🌿 I'm also excited for the upcoming publication of Lucy from @myrobalanclinic 's book all about self sufficient herbal medicine so will be keeping my eye out for that! #bookstagram #herbalbooks #herbs #herbalmedicine #makeyourownCalendula infusing into oil. 🧡 I love infusing calendula into apricot oil for a really nourishing oil that's great for sensitive skins. It's more expensive than some base oils but lovely to have in small quantities, especially for facial oils. #calendula #healingherbs #herbaloil #healingoil #herbalism #sensitiveskinA small magpie moth in progress. I'm enjoying the lovely patterns on the wings of this moth whose larval food plant is the wonderful nettle. #mothsmatter #mothillustration #mothsofinstagram #mothart #natureart #natureillustration #naturalhistoryillustration #artistsoninstagram #nettle #ecology #tempuradesignA recent bilberry harvest. These antioxidant rich berries are great for protecting the eyes and skin. 💜 I always find picking bilberries takes a very long time! (Perhaps because I sample too many?) #bilberry #vaccinium #vacciniummyrtillus #herbalmedicine #herbalism #healingherbs #antioxidants #superberries #superfoods #foraging #localfood #wildfood #wildfoodforaging #wildmedicine #wildfoodlove
