A how-to guide for making over 25 salves, tinctures, teas, balms and bakes using traditional herbalist methods.
Organised chronologically, the history and stories of the herbalist's craft are told through the recipes, starting with the ancient romans and ending in the early modern period. Provides tips and guidance from a trained herbalist and storyteller, combining the two to form an engaging and informative narrative and safe recipes.
Steeped in history, the herbalist's art paved the way for modern science but didn't necessarily need to have been replaced by it. In The Time Traveller's Herbal, the traditional remedies and recipes that were passed down through the ages are offered to the modern reader as a means to reconnect with the natural world, while reaping the benefits.
A guide to the myths of a lost art, The Time Traveller's Herbal is the book every budding apothecary should reach for. Including instructions for over 25 recipes and makes using commonly found, foraged or easily procured ingredients, author Amanda Edmiston weaves a story through the recipes about the craft of the herbalist, tapping into the traditional knowledge passed down through generations and reworking it for the modern reader.
A former student of herbal medicine, based in Scotland, Amanda loves telling stories that feature plants and uses an engaging blend of history, fairy tales and folklore to create new tales to intrigue her audiences. Her sessions involve interesting and unusual multi sensory props... prepare to be surprised by unexpected noises, smells and objects from fantastic places!
The daughter of a storyteller, stories are part of Amanda’s DNA, she has combined them with her passion for herbs and potions in a unique way which inspires participants to uncover facts and stories for themselves.
She works across the UK and also tours internationally. She has delivered sessions designed to inspire young readers with The National Literacy Trust and has created sessions for The Scottish Ballet’s education department, Edinburgh International Science Festival, The National Museum of Rural Life and Chelsea Physic garden in London, amongst others.
