Featuring fifty medicinal herbs, the book invites readers to participate in what Catholic priest and ecologist Thomas Berry called \"the Great Work\" of finding ways to live that benefit both humans and the places we inhabit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the state struggles with increasingly severe storms, land subsidence, rising waters, saltwater intrusion, and the loss of iconic trees, Martin suggests that the recognition and careful use of medicinal plants may help to stabilize at-risk species and areas, reduce the use of toxic applications on aggressive weeds, and support everyday health. Throughout the book, she offers personal reflections on her experiences of finding the herbs and poignant commentaries on some of the gifts and challenges of living in Louisiana. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach herb listing includes plant identification features, habitat, distribution, medicinal properties, risks, and preparation methods. Martin also shares cultivation tips to aid home gardeners who are introducing healing plants into their landscapes. As she notes, this is not just an herb book. It's an invitation into a place that is complex, wide, shifting, old, and ever new. With \u003ci\u003eLouisiana Healing Garden\u003c\/i\u003e as a guide, we can awaken to the many small gifts that surround us, shore up our health, and help to support positive changes in the places we call home.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorinne Martin\u003c\/b\u003e is a clinical herbalist and amateur naturalist who has worked with medicinal plants for more than forty years.
