Herbology

PART OF THE Revel, Revel ISSUE

‘It is time now to draw one year to its close and attune ourselves to the natural energies returning to the earth and the prevailing, almost tangible power of the darkness.’

The practice of using nature to create remedies and recipes has been around for thousands of years but, over time, our knowledge of the more traditional ‘green pharmacy’ has diminished. From healing balms to relaxing teas, soothing cough mixtures and restorative bath salts, Herbology contains an abundance of therapeutic and delicious herbal preparations you can make at home.
