40 medicinal plants for the family medicine cabinet - uses and gardening

With a simple and fluid writing style, Diane Mackay wonderfully conveys the desire to care for oneself and one's loved ones with herbs with multiple properties, in the form of infusions, liquid extracts, oils or ointments.

This spring, Colloïdales Publishing will release 40 Medicinal Plants for the Family Medicine Cabinet, Diane Mackay's first book on 40 medicinal plants that are easy to grow, process, and use, including 12 well-known aromatic herbs such as basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. She presents them in six sections: history, botany, gardening, uses, culinary applications (where applicable), and precautions. The book is designed as a practical guide for growing, harvesting, and processing 40 simple remedies that address most common health problems. An essential resource for building robust and natural health, the key to a healthy, free, and fulfilling life.

Diane Mackay lives with her partner, Yves Gagnon, in Saint-Didace, where they established Les Jardins du Grand-Portage. It was there that she was introduced to traditional herbalism, exploring the vast healing potential of medicinal plants. She cultivates about a hundred species, half of which she transforms into dried herbs, liquid extracts, oils, and ointments. For thirty years, she has treated those around her with her homemade products, who have witnessed their remarkable effectiveness. She also offers training and gives lectures on the subject.
