"Motherland Herbal is a manifestation of our Southern and Caribbean grandmothers who kept recipes on tattered sheets of paper hidden in cabinets and drawers. With medicinal cures to care for generations of our families in times of healing, this book gives new life to old traditions." -- Aycee Brown, psychic channel, author of Your Soul Map: Liberation, Human Design, and the BIPOC Experience

Stephanie Rose Bird grew up surrounded by forests, listening to the stories of her ancestors, and learning African healing ways. From an early age, she dedicated herself to herbalism and living a spiritually fulfilled life in harmony with nature. Now, the wisdom she has accrued is gathered in this impressive encyclopedic work of African healing and herbal medicine.

Inside, discover how to garden and harvest in unison with the seasons and how to use herbalism and magic--derived from ancestral and spiritual helpers--to heal. A treasure trove of knowledge, Motherland Herbal showcases an array of recipes and rituals that nourish every facet of life:

  • Seasonal recipes to support overall well-being
  • Tinctures for common ailments, such as headaches, flue, or heartburn
  • Remedies for improved mental health that lessen symptoms of anxiety, stress, or depression
  • Natural body and home-care products, from facials to cleaning solutions
  • Herbal baths for relaxation, sexual wellness, and good luck
  • Rituals and altars for universal experiences, such as learning how to let go after loss and how to improve creativity and fertility
  • And much more

Written in Stephanie’s warm and authoritative voice, Motherland Herbal seamlessly blends activism and ancestral folklore with the realms of spirituality, gardening, and holistic wellness. Her deep reverence for the wisdom of her ancestors infuses every page of this guide, which is a foundational resource that will shape the landscape of African healing and folk medicine for generations to come.
