Review
Interesting and recommended book about ancient Celtic healing methods using all kinds of plants and herbs. In the old stories one of the areas of interest of the Goddess Brigid is healing. Water sources were sacred and important; the ancient Druids would also have been familiar with the importance of clean drinking water, fresh air and hygiene.
However, the most important methods discussed in this book are plants and herbs, classified under the four elements air, fire, water and earth with two more chapters specifically aimed at women and men.
