About the author
Rosalee de la Foret is a clinical herbalist and writer whose two titles on the shelf, Alchemy of Herbs and Wild Remedies, both from Hay House, present herbal medicine as something assembled from a home kitchen and the nearby landscape rather than a specialist's cabinet. Alchemy of Herbs works through common pantry ingredients such as cinnamon and garlic, matching them to everyday complaints like colds, headaches, and sleeplessness. Wild Remedies, co-written and illustrated, turns to foraging, showing readers how to identify and use wild plants for food and home remedies. Across both books the approach is practical and instructional: recipes, identification notes, and simple preparations aimed at readers new to herbalism who want a low-cost, ingredient-led entry point rather than a clinical or academic text. The books sit within the contemporary natural-health and herbalism category and assume no prior training, walking readers from raw plant material to finished remedy.
