Description: This zine serves as "a primer on the use of medicinal herbs to support mental health."

Includes a section on dosage and contraindications, a glossary, bibliography, and a brief overview of how to make teas, decoctions, and tinctures.
Notes: Includes glossary, bibliographical references (page 39) and index.
