Illustrator, folklorist and tattoo designer Fez Inkwright has come up with this amazing hardback treasury of plants and their properties. She calls it “an unusual history of everyday plants” – it’s similar to the Sensory Herbal Handbook we featured a couple of issues ago, except the line drawings are all black and white, and it’s not as comprehensive on the magic and healing properties of the plants. All the same it’s utterly charming and coaxes you gently into all the “other” aspects of plants: their folklore, a few spells, a few remedies and old songs and poems that carry more than a grain of truth. It’s a point of departure – the drawings are bold and full of character – which will lead us to love our meadows and hedgerows more, and increase our appreciation of these plants’ wisdom.

There’s a great quotation from renowned author Cilla Conway on this book, and it sums up my feelings as well: “I don’t normally read books on angels as I find many of them too saccharine, but I found Wendy Erlick’s book direct, authentic and sometimes very moving”. This gets it exactly right: it’s down to earth, everyday and for that very reason very inspiring. A spiritual gift like this can descend on any of us at any time, and her story is well-told and compelling, but the account becomes incredibly useful in the second half of the book when she goes into detail about her training and shows us how too we can get in touch with invisible beings. She discusses the different angels and what they specialize in and how we can work with them, but all this in a very straightforward and refreshingly non-ethereal way.

Do you suffer from abdominal bloating; a chronic, nagging cough or sore throat; postnasal drip; a feeling of a lump in the back of your throat; allergies; or shortness of breath? If so, odds are that you are experiencing acid reflux without recognizing its silent symptoms, which can lead to serious long-term health problems, including esophageal cancer. In The Acid Watcher Diet, Dr Jonathan Aviv, a leading authority on the diagnosis and treatment of acid reflux disease, helps readers identify those often misunderstood symptoms while providing a proven solution for reducing wholebody acid damage quickly and easily. His 28-day programme is part of a two-phase eating plan, with a healthy balance of both macronutrients (proteins, carbs and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and antioxidants), that works to immediately neutralize acid and relieve the inflammation at the root of acid reflux.
Dr Aviv guides readers through healthy dietary choices with targeted recipes, helping them balance their bodies and minds for optimal health and break acid-generating habits for good.
