Some of the most effective natural healets can easily be made at home, not only from what we conventionally think of as herbs, but from common weeds, garden plants, wild flowers and an impressive array of fruits, vegetables and culinary seasonings.

100 Great Natural Remedies explains how to prepare tinctures and infusions, ointment and creams, tonic wines and cough syrups, based on the contents of your kitchen cupboard or back yard, or what you can collect on a country walk. It also guides the reader through first aid 'in the field', using wild plants when accidents happen away from home. A section on common ailments helps you diagnose your problem accurately, and fine the best remedy for it.

From the use of cabbage leaves to ease aching joints through lemon juice or fresh plantain leaves to relieve itching skin to the medical wisdom behind eating an apple a day, Penelope Ody examines some of the healing properties of familar plants that can easily help you to improve and maintain your own health.
