Hedgerow Medicine

Harvest and Make Your Own Herbal Remedies

We forget that many centuries ago a lot of our medicines were created from natural plants and herbs and was the beginning of hedgerow medicine as we know it today. Those practicing this medicine were both revered and by some reviled as it was thought to be some kind of magic! However we don't realize but many of the medicines we are prescribed are based on these natural remedies from years ago. The difference is that today's pharmaceutical companies have found out why they work and made up their own version so that they can make a profit. Whilst that might seem wrong in some eyes, without profit no company can survive, especially in today's financial crisis. In addition by making profits they can develop other drugs and medicines that otherwise would not be in existence to help with AIDS Cancers and so on.

So that's the good side of it but if we want to make our own contribution towards our home medicine chest then what better place to look for natural cures than the Hedgerow Medicine book. It is something the whole family can help in with searching out the basic ingredients then preparing and using them. many of the medicines found in the delightful book are milder than those we buy from the pharmacist and therefore are probably better for us. It does make you think when you look at a shampoo and it contains Sodium lauryl sulfate, which is used to clean garage floors and degreasing engines. In fact you will find it in all sorts of things we use daily, like washing up liquid, liquid soap, toothpaste and so on. Quite frightening really so natural could well be best.

It has been known for a long time that hawthorn berries and leaves over time help strengthen heart muscles, and has been used to reduce the start of arteriosclerosis. It can also aid conditions such as a rapid and feeble heart action, heart valve defects, enlarged hearts, angina pectoris and difficulty in breathing due to a poor heart action and lack of oxygen in the blood. So quite a medicine found in many a hedgerow! You could even grow some of the items in your own organic garden if you want as well.
