Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Vibrant Botanicals offers 75 nourishing recipes using adaptogens, herbs, and botanicals to heal, energise, and calm.

With a focus on healing herbs, Jennifer McGruther, author and blogger of Nourished Kitchen, shows how easy it is to incorporate these powerful ingredients into your home and food traditions. As Rosalee de la ForeΜ‚t, author of Alchemy of Herbs and Wild Remedies, notes, "With unique and enticing recipes, Jennifer McGruther shows readers how easy it is to welcome healing herbs into their homes and food traditions."

Plants provide a wealth of healing powers when used properly. Adaptogens, which are plant extracts that help the body adapt to stress, and herbs offer potent energy and immunity, alongside a host of additional health benefits. Jennifer expertly guides readers through the properties of herbal energetics and how to extract their benefits into tinctures, infused oils, teas and tisanes, vinegars, and more.

While store-bought adaptogenic powders and elixirs from popular retailers can be a hefty investment, Jennifer’s creations are affordable to make at home.

Vibrant Botanicals includes over 70 recipes designed to help you feel your best using herbal infusions. Discover how cacao and liquorice naturally awaken the body and can be easily incorporated into granolas, beverages, and breakfasts to jump-start your day. Recipes featuring garlic, astragalus, and reishi showcase how homemade broth and fire cider can build immunity, while passionflower, ashwagandha, and chamomile are mixed into creamy milk blends and teas to ensure peaceful sleep.

Whether you're looking to fortify digestion, lift your spirits, or enjoy a restful night, Vibrant Botanicals offers the natural solution through nourishing and herbal-rich recipes.
