Introduction by Rosemary Gladstar Published by Bertha Canterbury Press, $19.95
In Traversing the Wild Terrain of Menopause, Gail illuminates the way through the deeply spiritual and transformative journey we call menopause. She challenges us to consider midlife to be a shamanic journey, then beckons us to join her on this path wrought with wisdom, grace and beauty, as well as discomfort and pain. Gail describes the chemistry of menopause in great detail, explains how hormonal changes affect both women and men, and offers many insights into how our shifting chemistry affects our lives together as couples. You’ll find comprehensive information on dozens of herbs that will help ease menopausal woes, enhance physical, emotional and spiritual health and well being, and increase sexual pleasure and performance for both sexes. You’ll find plenty of herbal ways here to protect your heart, bones, and brain, nourish your immune, endocrine, digestive, and nervous systems, alleviate chronic pain, and so much more. Gail takes us on a poetic journey, shares her life and her dreams, and most of all inspires and empowers the reader to walk a beauty path through midlife leading to the door of rebirth as a wise and healthy elder person with many, many gifts still left to offer.
Opening Our Wild Hearts to the Healing Herbs by Gail Faith Edwards.
Herbal medicines, plant lore, poetry, ceremonies, wild plants, medicinal trees and much more! A keeper. "This charming book weaves herbal lore, wise woman tradition, and personal experience into a magical and spiritual tapestry. Gail Faith Edward's directions for growing, harvesting, and utilizing Nature’s green gifts are surpassed only by her ability to express her own Wild Heart. Experienced herbalists and novices alike will be inspired by her vast knowledge and uplifting spirit. Includes 113 trees and herbs for medicine, food, and beauty." (Amazon Review)

Nature Spirit's and Elemental Beings: Working With the Intelligence of Nature by Marko Pogacnik.
Learning to heal the disturbed elemental world and much, much more! "Although a lot has been written in recent years about nature spirits, Nature Spirits and Elemental Beings by Slovenian author Marko Pogacnik is remarkable in that almost everything described in the book is based on his own practical experiences in communicating with these beings through meditation and tuning in to plants, trees, animals and the landscape. He describes in detail the various elemental beings and their roles in maintaining the web of life, and also gives insights into related topics, such as the flow of energies within the landscape and the long-suppressed Goddess culture.
His evocative images of the nature spirits draw our attention to the lost harmony of the natural world which has been disrupted by the impact of human culture. It is a tragic situation but one which can be redeemed if we rediscover our long-lost sensitivity to these realms and, as the author demonstrates, learn to heal the disturbed elemental world." (Amazon Review)
Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants by Steve Brill
"Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild) Places shows readers how to find and prepare more than five hundred different plants for nutrition and better health, including such common plants as mullein (a tea made from the leaves and flowers suppresses a cough), stinging nettle (steam the leaves and you have a tasty dish rich in iron), cattail (cooked stalks taste similar to corn and are rich in protein), and wild apricots (an infusion made with the leaves is good for stomach aches and disgestive disorders).
More than 260 detailed line drawings help readers identify a wide range of plants -- many of which are suited for cooking by following the more than thirty recipes included in this book. There are literally hundreds of plants readily available underfoot waiting to be harvested and used either as food or as a potential therapeutic. This book is both a field guide to nature's bounty and a source of intriguing information about the plants that surround us." (Amazon Review)

Secrets of Native American Herbal Remedies by Anthony J. Chichoke.
A comprehensive guide to the Native American traditionof using herbs and the Mind/Body/Spirit connection for improving health and well-being. "A complete guide to centuries-old Native American herbs and other remedies.
The modern techniques of holistic and alternative healing and natural remedies have been alive in the "old ways" of Native American medicine for centuries. This comprehensive guide introduces the Native American concept of healing, which incorporates body, mind, and spirit and stresses the importance of keeping all three in balance.
Dr. Anthony Cichoke explains the philosophy behind American Indian healing practices as well as other therapies, such as sweat lodges, used in conjunction with herbs. He examines each herb in an accessible A-to-Z format, explaining its healing properties and varying uses in individual tribes. Finally, he details Native American healing formulas and recipes for treating particular ailments, from hemorrhoids to stress." (Amazon Review)

Hygieia: A Woman's Herbal by Jeannine Parvati Baker.
Jeannine imparts the knowledge and wisdom of herbals for the needs of women. Intimately written to awaken the inner healing spirit within you. I Highly Recommend this/MM.
"Much of Parvati's material is geared to younger woman-probably because she was younger when she wrote the book and authors tend to write about their experience, but she does have some good stuff on menopause. Given the outpouring of books on the topic of herbal healing in recent years, you might wonder what this book covers not found in other herbal volumes, and the answer is plenty. Parvati's book is about herb uses and the reproductive organs of the female body. Parvati organizes the herbs by topics, covering subjects such as aphrodisiacs to whet the sexual appetite, as well as herbs to improve fertility, assist with birth control, boost lactation, ease menstruation, et cetera. She has lots of graphic illustrations and pictures (naked bodies) and discusses herbal applications you probably won't find discussed anywhere else.
Parvati is Native American with a few other good qualities thrown in such as six children conceived and delivered a la natural. This is a book for liberated women (and men) or those who want to be." (Amazon Review)

Healing Wise by Susun Weed.
The way of nourishment and sustenance. Complete instructions for using common plants for food, beauty, medicine and longevity. Highly recommended for all!
"The Wise Woman tradition is the way of nourishment and sustenance, rather than of "fixing" and "curing." With that in mind, Susun Weed introduces us to seven herbs and encourages us to get to know these Green Allies by spending time with them. Food and medicine recipes are given for each herb, as well as fun facts and literary references. Susun also includes detailed instructions for making herbal preparations such as infusions, tinctures, oils and poultices. Her knowledge of herbs is quite evident, as is her commitment to the Wise Woman way of life. Even though only seven herbs are presented here, I felt like I gained more usable information from Healing Wise than I have from any of the encyclopedic herbals I own." (Amazon Review)

Fedco Seeds grew out of the “new wave” food co-operative movement of the 1970s, starting in 1978 as a project of the Maine Federation of Co-operatives. Fedco stands for Federation of Cooperatives. The Federation also ran a co-operative food warehouse in the late seventies and early eighties.
