Medicine from the Trees

“With the mighty banyan trees of India, ginkgo trees from Asia, maples from North America, and many more, Medicine from the Trees invites readers to expand their knowledge of herbal medicine from the plants at their feet to the trees reaching overhead.” — AMERICAN BOTANICAL COUNCIL (TEXAS)“If you’ve ever wondered if the benefits of the herbs growing at our feet in our gardens and wilds also translate into the trees around us, you may find yourself deeply diving into Dr. JJ Pursell’s new book, Medicine from the Trees: Herbal Remedies from the Forest for Whole-Body Health and Wellness. In the book, author and naturopath Dr. Pursell takes her wealth of clinical experience and applies it to the forest, identifying which trees are nutritive and which are tannic, which have edible barks and which green leaves make wonderfully mineral-rich vinegars.” — THE HERBAL ACADEMY

Dr. JJ Pursell is a board-certified naturopathic physician and licensed acupuncturist and has worked with medicinal herbs for more than twenty years. She is the former owner of both Brooklyn’s The Herb Shoppe and Fettle, a Portland, Oregon–based apothecary.
