  Do you want to start using herbal remedies but don’t know where to begin? This comprehensive guide will teach you everything you need to know about herbalism, from the benefits of using natural remedies to how to make your herbal preparations at home. 
  For centuries, humans have been using herbal remedies to treat a wide variety of ailments. These natural plant-based medicines contain active compounds that can reduce inflammation, ease pain, and promote healing. One of the most well-known types of herbal remedies is tea, made from leaves and flowers steeped in hot water for several minutes to extract their properties. 
  Other popular herbs used for medicinal purposes include ginger, turmeric, and peppermint, all of which are known for their anti- inflammatory effects as well as their ability to settle nausea or upset stomachs. Whether you’re looking for relief from cold symptoms or an extra boost of energy, there’s no doubt that herbal remedies can be highly effective at improving your health and well-being. 
  While herbal remedies are generally safe for most people to use, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before using them, especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medications. Some herbs can interact with certain medications, so it’s always best to err on the side of caution.

  This historical look at New England’s favorite fruit “ends up capturing the essence of the time period and place”—from the authors of A History of Chowder (Edible South Shore).   New Englanders know that cranberries are not for holidays alone. For centuries, this tart fruit—a staple in the Yankee diet since before it was domesticated—has reigned over the cranberry heartland of Barnstable and Plymouth Counties, Massachusetts. Dozens of recipes that utilize the “humble fruit” have risen up over the years, the most popular being cranberry sauce, which one imaginative New Englander paired with lobster. The popularity of the berry exploded in the 1840s, and despite occasional setbacks such as the great pesticide scare of 1959, demand continues to rise to this day. Authors Robert S. Cox and Jacob Walker trace the evolution of cranberry culture in the Bay State, exploring the delectable history of this quintessential New England industry.   Includes photos!
