wild plant remedies
In Great Britain, we are blessed with wonderful hedgerows and beautiful countryside. A country walk reveals an abundance of wild plants which can be make into wild plant remedies (and wild food recipes). Fortunately, many of our most popular remedies come from plants that are found in cities and suburban gardens as well as in rural countryside. (Think of nettles and brambles!) Many useful wild plants can be found beside roads, however, harvesting roadside plants is not recommended due to their repeated exposure to exhaust fumes and other pollutants. We've put together a list of some of our favourite simple wild plant remedies, with their uses and healing benefits. We think you'll be amazed at the wonderful everyday remedies that can be made from some of our most common wild plants!
CAUTION: It is very important to stress, that you must never pick a plant for use in a remedy or recipe, unless you are absolutely positive about its identification. Only collect wild plants which you recognise and are sure of - if you are at all unsure about a plants identification - DO NOT PICK IT!

CAUTION: Before beginning any treatment, we strongly advise you consult your physician and/or a qualified herbalist for advice and treatment is you are pregnant, have a chronic medical or serious health condition, are receiving medical or psychiatric treatment, are taking homeopathic remedies, or intend treating babies or very young children.)
