A beautiful and healing synthesis of memoir and practical herbal knowledge.
Starting with inspiring stories of her life in herbalism and healing, Linda Bates outlines some of the almost miraculous cures she achieved with plant medicine, ranging from working with intensive care patients to brain disease.
The Medicine Woman goes on to examine Linda's spiritual journey and how discovering ones true vocation is a key to becoming a healer. From Findhorn in Scotland, to Adelaide, Australia her story is fascinating and inspiring, offering poignant and practical insight to both herbalists and lay-people alike.
In the final section, Linda explains the system of herbal medicine she was taught, centred around the use of drop doses of several plant tinctures and includes several detailed case studies.
The Medicine Woman is an inspiring work which stresses the importance of community centred healing practices in the herbal world, acting as an invitation to consider more deeply our relationships with both humans and plants in daily life.
