This book is infused with the Slavic wisdom and folk healing passed on to Zuza Zak by her two Polish grandmothers. It's a beautifully illustrated treasure trove of the old ways of Eastern Europe, full of little rituals and remedies to make your life gentler, sweeter and more joyful, and it's a precious object in its own right – your own notebook of practical wisdom. Season by season, the book gently guides you to a more natural Earth-focused rhythm, creating the right atmosphere for your body and mind to thrive.

In this book, you'll find natural remedies for physical and mental well-being, such as broad-leaved plantain for cuts and grazes and a chamomile bath for relaxation and optimism; fragrant homemade beauty products, from an oat bundle cleanser for gentle exfoliation to a lilac body oil for Improving your skin and your Intuition; delicious recipes, including Slow-Cooked Beetroot Barszcz Stew with Horseradish and Wild Summer Pierogi; rituals to honor the passing year; and folktales and mythology to connect to the ancient symbolism of nature.
