Dr. JJ Pursell, author of two best-selling books based on medicines created from herbs and flowers now brings us trusted alternative remedies based on ingredients sourced from 35 common trees from around the world, readily available in our own backyards or in herbal supply markets. These recipes (including teas, tinctures, bath soaks, syrups, salves, poultices, fomentations, and capsules) will teach readers how to manage day-to-day physical complaints such as immune system health, colds, headaches, stomach upset, and stress. Did you know that, like sauerkraut, you can pickle the seeds of American ash trees as a beneficial gut microbiome supplement and source of nutrition? That a morning tea made from banyan tree bark will balance blood sugar levels all day? That a tincture of beech leaves improves circulation? That a delicious ketchup made from hawthorn is good for the heart? That steamy spruce baths are effective for treating lower back pain as well as colds? Pursell reveals all these surprisingly simple and easy uses for medicinal preparations from the trees that surround us all, and many more. Interwoven with recipes are the author s own powerful memories and experiences with each tree species and lovely commissioned modern botanical illustrations, giving the entire collection a personal feel and beauty that makes it a perfect gift for anyone interested in herbal and alternative remedies.

"With the mighty banyan trees of India, ginkgo trees from Asia, maples from North America, and many more, Medicine from the Trees invites readers to expand their knowledge of herbal medicine from the plants at their feet to the trees reaching overhead." — AMERICAN BOTANICAL COUNCIL (TEXAS)"If you’ve ever wondered if the benefits of the herbs growing at our feet in our gardens and wilds also translate into the trees around us, you may find yourself deeply diving into Dr. JJ Pursell’s new book, Medicine from the Trees: Herbal Remedies from the Forest for Whole-Body Health and Wellness. In the book, author and naturopath Dr. Pursell takes her wealth of clinical experience and applies it to the forest, identifying which trees are nutritive and which are tannic, which have edible barks and which green leaves make wonderfully mineral-rich vinegars." — THE HERBAL ACADEMY
