Traditional herbal knowledge, remedies and practical skills for bringing plants back into everyday life.
Do I need any special equipment?
Not really. Most recipes just need things you probably already own: jars, a saucepan, and cheesecloth if you're making tinctures. All the ingredients are easy to find in shops or herbal stores. A few sections mention an optional starter kit, which can be helpful to get started.
I'm completely new to herbalism. Will I get lost?
No, it's written with beginners in mind. The first few chapters walk you through building your own home apothecary, growing herbs, plant profiles, and a full reference library. From there the recipes are split into sections, external and internal use, a chapter on stress and mood, and one on home and lifestyle. Along the way it covers different preparation methods, how to store things properly, and general safety, before getting into the recipes themselves.
Are the herbs easy to get hold of?
Most come from health food shops, farmers markets, or online. There is a whole chapter covering the 28 herbs you would need to make everything in the book.
Would this make a good gift?
People buy it as a gift a lot, especially for anyone getting into natural or sustainable living. It comes in hardcover with illustrations throughout.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide, and full delivery support is available.

So beautiful!!
“Bought this as a gift for my daughter and then immediately ordered my own copy. Didn't expect the book to be so profound, honestly. The herbal kits came in handy too! It's a bit of a struggle finding rose petals in the middle of winter, but the kit sorted that out. I actually understand what I'm doing now instead of just following whatever random recipe I found online.”

We've lost knowledge that once lived in every home
For generations, people knew how to use the plants around them: how to care for
everyday ailments, preserve seasonal harvests, and make useful natural remedies from
what they had on hand.
This knowledge wasn't hidden in books, it was shared between generations and learned
through everyday practice.
Today, much of it has been forgotten. The Roots was created to help bring it back.
