A collection of the spoken words and written communications of internationally renowned herbalist and educator Christopher Hedley.
In its coverage of humoral medicine, materia medica, and the importance of knowing the living plants that herbal medicines are made from, Very Generous Things Plants-We Don't Deserve Them Really is a companion volume to Plant Medicine.
However, while Plant Medicine is a collection of teaching materials, this volume provides the reader with a healthy dose of Christopher’s “gentle teaching style and his child-like curiosity”, which enables readers, whether they be students, herbalists or other plant lovers, to grasp the living knowledge of the herbal tradition.
