Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Written by the author of the bestselling Concise Foraging Guide, this practical pocket guide describes 163 plant species with medicinal qualities.
Each species account provides accurate artworks and concise descriptions outlining essential details to help you identify species, as well as advice on which plants you can forage and which can grow in gardens in the UK and Europe. Important information on their medicinal uses, toxicity and any risks or side effects to consider is also included.
Tiffany Francis-Baker's introduction offers a brief history of foraging for medicine and discusses the benefits and risks of creating herbal remedies to supplement modern medicine. She gives practical tips on collecting wild plants safely and legally and outlines how to store, preserve and prepare medicinal plants, including making balms, teas and tinctures.
Easy to use and small enough to take anywhere, this is the perfect guide for anyone interested in making their own natural remedies.
