The Medicine Woman: A Path of Power and Healing with Love and Plants (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781801521727)

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 had achieved with plant medicine ranging from working with intensive care patients to brain disease.

The book 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 and still practices centred around the use of drop doses of several plant tinctures and includes several detailed case studies

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.
