Personalised Signed Copies Now Available 🌿
I’m delighted to offer personally signed copies of my book Old Remedies for Modern Living. This book is the result of five years of research and deep exploration into the beautiful wildflowers of the Forest of Dean, a true labour of love.
 
Within its pages, you’ll find a full-colour, comprehensive materia medica of Western herbs, inspired by traditional and long-forgotten herbal formulas. My aim was to reconnect with these time-honoured plant remedies and show how they can still be used in modern life and practice today.Each chapter is filled with recipes and preparations, from tisanes and cold infusions to poultices, syrups, bath oils, and more, offering practical ways to bring these old plant traditions back into your everyday routine.
 
Organised as an A–Z of herbs, the book is richly illustrated with full-colour photographs and includes detailed entries on over a hundred common Western herbs. From Agrimony to Yellow Dock, each entry explores the plant’s lore, etymology, seasonality, edibility, medicinal properties, and active constituents, alongside historical uses, modern research, dosages, and precautions.
 
Old Remedies for Modern Living is more than just a reference book — it’s an invitation to rediscover the wisdom of our herbal past and to weave it into the way we live and heal today. Whether you’re a student, practitioner, or simply someone who loves plants, I hope this book brings you as much joy in reading and using it as it did for me in writing it.
