NATURAL REMEDIES FOR INFLAMMATION by Christopher Vasey
by: Christopher Vasey
Only Back soon! £12.99
From ibuprofen to cortisone, anti-inflammatory drugs are now the top-selling pharmaceuticals. But daily use comes with a price: side effects, which can lead to other chronic conditions and further medication. In this practical guide, naturopath Christopher Vasey explores 38 anti-inflammatory herbs, such as laurel, basil and turmeric, as well as other natural substances, such as fish oil. He explains how, like fever, inflammation is a defensive reaction of the body and also carries out a cleansing process, which natural remedies support but drugs can destabilise. He examines many of the most common inflammation-related ailments such as allergies, asthma, arthritis and eczema, and explains which medicinal plant or food supplement is best suited to alleviate unpleasant symptoms while helping the body complete the healing the inflammation was initiated to perform.

WHAT I WISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT DEMENTIA by Wendy Mitchell
£9.99
Wendy was just 58 when she was diagnosed with young-onset dementia, but she has dealt with it front-on and has lived a constructive and busy life since. Her first book was Somebody I Used to Know, which was more of an account of what happened to her, whereas this book – new in paperback – is a book of tips and guidance about what dementia actually feels like. Sadly it’s a book that many of us need as people live much longer lives. It’s a book that helps us understand what people with dementia are going through and how they experience things, which helps us to help them better. And, in describing the experience of dementia, it might also make us less afraid of it, as we are reassured that a vibrant and fulfilling life is still possible when you have it.

CONVERSATIONS WITH BIRDS by Alan Powers
£14.00
I suspect I’m not alone in chatting with birds while putting out their feed in the morning? Alan Powers takes this to a whole other level, having spent many years studying bird vocalisations and learning how to imitate their songs and, in some sense, actually communicate with them. In this book (a new edition of the 2003 book Bird Talk), he invites us to talk with him about what he has learned, his love of inter-species communication and how birds can teach us important lessons about the world and ourselves. He also introduces us to the poetic, spiritual, and healing influences of birdsong, and the depth of meaning the language of birds convey. This is not a dry book, it’s written with joy and good humour and makes for a lovely read.

THE SALT PATH by Raynor Winn
£10.99
A couple of us at Cygnus read this book at around the same time and loved it so we thought we would include it here. It’s strongly recommended as a book that’s powerful and full of meaning for all readers. It shows that human beings can endure almost any adversity. Just days after the author learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. They have no possessions holding them back, so they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. Through every step, their walk becomes a remarkable journey. The Salt Path is a compelling and life-affirming true story about coming to terms with grief and the healing power of the natural world.

This unexpected book is a marvellous combination of bird watching for beginners, biography, notebook and spiritual guide. Written with love by Tammah Watts who has found so much in birds and nature to uplift her, we are taken on a journey of her life and how she connected with various birds along the way, how she found herself connecting to her local community because of her interest and how her love of birds helped her heal, both physically and mentally.
