" Backyard Medicine is a wonderful book that all herbalists need." --David Hoffman, BSc, FNIMH, medical herbalist "Julie and Matthew have tried and tested these herbs, and their recipes offer the reader insightful experience to encourage the use of these glorious herbs." -- Herbs Magazine "Julie Bruton-Seal's long experience as a practising herbalist combined with husband Matthew's publishing know-how has produced a great new herbal for the 21st century. This is the book that I take most recipes from. While there have been many excellent herbals over the years and centuries, this is the most useful to me practically . [It] has become a popular book, which is unsurprising with its excellent photos and easy to use format." --Davina Wynne-Jones, Barnsley Gardens , UK ". a wonderful book that all herbalists need.

My warmest congratulations to both for a gorgeous and most useful book." --Barbara Griggs, author of Green Pharmacy "At last! A herbal with photographs. I have longed for a book like this for years .
